With an array of internship, career planning, and job-search programs, Loyola’s Career Development Center is an important resource for both students and alumni.  New Center Director Darby Scism wants to make sure everybody knows it.

“We want to increase the visibility of our excellent offerings,” says Scism, whose team is focusing on getting students into center programming early in their college careers.  Other center priorities include supporting a more robust internship program, building relationships with the Chicago employment community, and strengthening ties to alumni.

“Alumni are the richest resource we have in the Career Development Center,” Scism says.  “They mentor students, participate in career panels, conduct mock interviews—and, of course, we want them to think of us when their organizations have job and internship openings.

“We also want to remind our graduates that the center is available to them free of charge throughout their own careers, as they consider job changes or new directions,” Scism adds.
