Program Specialists and Administrative Support

Our administrators manage employer, student and faculty experiences with Business Career Services. They are essential to operations, handling visits, events, student staff, back-end processing and employer relations. These specialists ensure all policies and plans are executed promptly and to a high standard.

 


Area Industry Mentors (AIMs)

AIMs provide deepened advice and strategy for their designated academic major(s). They broaden student networks, help students narrow down a field of focus within an industry and identify key skills to showcase to employers. They are a perfect mentor for the student who is moderately sure of their career interests but seeking more in-depth advice in a specific field. AIMs frequently teach within their academic area and instruct sections of the professionalism curriculum.
