You Can Make a Difference

There are many ways for you to get involved with the Career Center that will have long-lasting benefits for Hopkins students.

1. The best way for students to learn about careers is from talking with experienced professionals like you.
   
   Each semester we offer a number of educational and training workshops to expose and prepare students for various career fields. We are always looking for willing speakers and panelists! We also offer field trips and experiential shadow opportunities. Let us know your area of expertise and we will fit you in. Past events have included case interviewing workshops, resume workshops, and industry panel discussions. To get involved, contact Tracy Carter, Assistant Director of Programming & Outreach, at 410-516-8056 or tracy.carter@jhu.edu.
   
   
2. Hopkins students make great employees.
   
   The Career Center offers a wide array of services to employers. Consider collecting Hopkins resumes, attending a career fair, or participating in on-campus recruiting. In addition, you may combine your recruiting efforts with an educational program to help students succeed. Please contact our Employer Relations Team at recruit@jhu.edu or 410-516-8056 to learn how to get involved.
   
   
3. Participate in the Edge Internship Program.
   
   The Edge Internship Program began as a collaborative effort between the Second Decade Society and the Career Center. It is an incredible opportunity for JHU undergraduates to gain valuable experience in lasting, high-quality internships. Designated for JHU students, Edge internships can be paid or unpaid and take place during any part of the year. Contact Dawna Milligan, Associate Director, at dawna.mililgan@jhu.edu or 410-516-8056.
