For Faculty & Staff
We know that students trust faculty and staff to provide career advice and to connect them with useful resources. Faculty and staff also play a critical role in helping students clarify their values and interests, build confidence in their skills, and make connections with Lewis & Clark alumni and friends of the College. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you to support the career development needs of the students in your department. Learn more about the ways in which the Career Center can support you and your students below.
