Career Peers for Undergraduates

The Career Peers are full-time undergraduate Isenberg students trained by the OCS on many aspects of assisting in students in career planning. They strive to empower Isenberg students to feel confident in their career development by sharing relevant peer experience and equipping them with personalized resources. They also meet 1:1 with ISOM 200 students each semester to assist them in perfecting their resumes.
You may visit the Career Peers in the Chase Career Center (Suite N207, second floor in the Hub) as a walk-in any time during regular business hours. Or, you may schedule an appointment with a Career Peer via Navigate! Log in to Navigate with your NetID and password, and select the Peer Advising option; both 1:1 and small group appointments are available (click here for instructions).
