Happy New Year! Come Visit Us In The New Career Services Location!

Welcome back! The new year is starting off with a bang as Career Services has officially moved to our new location on the third floor of 3935 Walnut Street (above the McDonalds). Do you have questions about your career path or applying to graduate / professional school? Would you like feedback on your resume, some practice for an upcoming interview, or are you puzzled about how to begin networking? We invite you to start your semester by scheduling an in person or virtual appointment through Handshake to meet with a career or graduate school advisor to get started on your summer or post-graduate plans.

We also have MANY events in store for you for the spring semester! The Penn Summer Opportunities Fair on Thursday, January 23rd will be our first fair of the semester. This collaboration with the Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (CURF) will enable undergraduates to connect with some of the many Penn programs that offer or fund summer research or internship experiences. The Spring Career and Internship Fair will take place on Friday, January 31st, and a variety of other fairs will occur in February and beyond including Virtual and In-person Design Fairs, a STEM Fair, the All-Industry Virtual Fair, All-Ivy Environmental and Sustainable Development Fair, the Graduate Career Consortium PhD and Master’s Virtual Career Expo, and the Virtual All-Ivy Consortium Just-in-Time Fair. You can get the details here; https://careerservices.upenn.edu/career-fairs/. There are also many virtual and in-person employer information sessions throughout the semester that you can find on the Handshake Events tab.

We look forward to getting to know you this spring!
