The Career Development Office (CDO) provides comprehensive, individualized career support for current students and alumni throughout every stage of their professional journey. Our career counselors help define career goals, explore opportunities, and develop effective job search strategies. Whether you're preparing application materials, practicing for interviews, or navigating a career pivot, your assigned counselor is available to meet virtually or in person.
While the CDO cannot place you in a job, we provide the tools, guidance, and resources to help you pursue meaningful employment.
First-year students are required to meet with their assigned career counselor during the Fall semester. In this meeting, your counselor will review your career interests and goals, and work with you to develop a job search strategy and timeline for summer employment. 1L JD Day Student Timeline
