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.

Class Visit
Consider inviting a CDC staff member for a:

• 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.

Blackboard and Department Website
Consider linking CDC's website among important resources

Encourage Your Department's Alumni to Join the Alumni Career Network
The Online Alumni Career Network is a searchable database of Binghamton alumni who have volunteered to be contacted by alumni and students regarding career information. Network volunteers provide assistance for those pursuing a first job or changing careers. Becoming a network volunteer is a rewarding way to stay connected with Binghamton University and make a difference for a student or fellow graduate. Alumni sign up through Binghamton University Alumni Association's Online Community, B-Connected .
