Career and Identity
Career Services is committed to serving a diverse network of students and alumni. We recognize many barriers exist and are committed to helping students embrace their identities (including their multiple, intersecting identities) as they navigate the lifelong process of career exploration and development.
Resources for specific populations and affinity groups are outlined below but represent just a sample of what is available online. Be sure to also explore our other career resource tools such as our job guides, , career exploration tools, and salary research tools.
Allies are encouraged to educate themselves on the identity-related career barriers that currently exist and actively engage throughout their careers to dismantle these barriers and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the world of work.
