Dear Ephs,
The '68 Center for Career Exploration is committed to remaining virtually open and is well-positioned for a new remote reality during this turbulent time. The majority of our services and programs are now available online, we are here to support students' summer and post-graduate aspirations. Internships and job postings can be sourced through Handshake and can be filtered by "remote work" opportunities. Virtual career advising appointments can also be scheduled via Handshake, which also features our spring events calendar, including many of the upcoming spring programs listed below.
Another virtual tool, EphLink, was built for remote connections and 76% of the Williams student body has activated their accounts. Now is the perfect time for students to join the community, fill out a profile, and start connecting with alumni! In short, the '68 Center is open to support all students to explore, define, and achieve their professional goals. Our collective strength is our commitment to the Eph community and a longstanding tradition of supporting one another through difficult times.
- Don Kjelleren, Director
