Class Projects & Grading Assignments
We strongly encourage collaboration between your department and our office, especially when it comes to preparing our students for life beyond college. Many faculty collaborate with our office to incorporate mock interviews and job search document reviews (i.e., résumé, cover letter, portfolios, etc.) into their course requirements. We can also work with you to incorporate other services into your curriculum. To ensure maximum efficiency and the highest standard of work it is recommended that you correspond directly with your college liaison early in the semester.
