Alverno’s Career Studio empowers students and alumnae to create meaningful professional lives by teaching career planning strategies, facilitating purposeful experiences and building community connections through networking and on-campus recruiting events with employers. It provides job search assistance to students through resume and cover letter review and interview preparation, offers graduate school planning and coordinates the highly successful internship program. Internships and other professional experiences are built into the curriculum of most of Alverno’s majors, and many students participate in multiple internships during their undergraduate experience.
