How CDC Works with Faculty

Bring Career Information to Your Class
In our ongoing outreach efforts, CDC staff is interested in identifying opportunities to connect with undergraduate and graduate students through the classroom.

• 10 minute "commercial" about CDC services
• Class presentation, (for part of or the entire class period) on topics such as:
  
  • overview of CDC services
  • how to explore careers
  • your major and your career
  • resume writing, cover letter writing, effective interviewing
  • how to find an internship
  • how to find a job
  • professional etiquette
  • other career-related topic of interest.

We also can help out in a pinch:
If you need to or are considering canceling a class, just contact us to see if we are available to make a presentation instead.CDC can assist in arranging class presentations by professionals (many of them alumni), who can talk about their experiences and how their major has helped them in their careers.

Integrate Career Assignments into the Course Curriculum

• Include a required or optional assignment to prepare a resume and/or cover letter. If you would like to require students to have their drafts reviewed in CDC please coordinate a due date with your school's/college's CDC liaison listed below.
• Include an oral or written report on an informational interview with a Binghamton alumnus or other professional about their career.

Join, and Encourage Your Department's Alumni to Join, the Binghamton University Alumni Association Professional Network
Through the Binghamton University Alumni Association Professional Network on LinkedIn, students and alumni can tap an expansive group of alumni for networking. Current students looking to learn about career fields, expand their professional network, and/or improve job search strategies, are encouraged to join the LinkedIn subgroup specifically for student-to-alumni professional networking. Included in the Student-to-Alumni Professional Network subgroup is a network of Binghamton alumni who have volunteered to be contacted by current students regarding their career. Alumni network volunteers can provide information and assistance whether you are conducting a job search, considering graduate school or contemplating a career change. Although the Network is not an employment or placement program, it is designed to help you connect with alumni and tap their talents and insight.
