The mission of the Careers for the Common Good program is to empower and support students in the pursuit of values-driven work opportunities in the not-for-profit, public, and private sectors.
Held at least six times a year (October/November, January/February and April/May), Common Good dinners help highlight opportunities where one can find values-driven work in the not-for-profit, public and private sectors. These student facilitated dinners feature two guests who meet with a dozen students over dinner to discuss their career paths. Dinner topics to date have included:
Receive targeted blitzes several times per term related either to Psychology/Human Services or Not-for-Profit/Social Entrepreneurship.
To sign up: Update your MonsterTRAK 'User Profile' in the 'Educations & Interests Information' section under 'Career Center Services Desired' to receive targeted blitzes for information on entry-level jobs, internships, fellowships, funding, workshops/programs, useful links, job descriptions, and employers.
Each year, a new guide in the series will be rolled out to inspire discussion between parents and sons/daughters and to address questions that naturally arise when contemplating career options. Guides to date include:
