UNLV Career Services & Workforce Development

Student excellence again. At this Fall's Undergraduate Research Symposium, we hosted a Career Connections highlighting employers that value the skills of Research. We featured AMH ( Jeff P. ) Teach For America (Courtney Guenard ) and my colleague GK Nwosu who was looking for interns and student workers for our Academic Effectiveness Unit. Research skills are a high-impact practice. Employers should engage in these opportunities. Some of the best and brightest. Thank you Rafael Oganesyan, Ph.D. for supporting the Career Connection and creating space for employer judges and speakers. You have new converts Debbie Brown (Cote) and Sheila Cavizo Eileen McGarry #unlv #researchmatters #workforcedevelopment

We loved hosting employers like AMH and Teach For America who served as judges for the Undergraduate Research Symposium this past weekend. Our students shone as they shared their research with the campus community. ?

We had a wonderful time hearing from employers and alumni about their experiences as First Generation Students at our most recent Thriving Authentically Panel and Mixer in partnership with UNLV Student Affairs, the Office of Diversity Initiatives and the MSI Task Force. Thanks for hosting, UNLV Alumni Association, and thanks to our panelists and sponsors. Southwest Gas Corporation Freeman Company Google Enterprise Mobility Boyd Gaming
