Our Career and Professional Development Fellows are upperclass students trained in multiple career and professional development areas and knowledgeable of CPD resources and services. They serve as ambassadors for our office, to their peers, employers, and the Emory community.

They’ve already navigated many of the same experiences you’re beginning now, including exploring majors and careers, applying for internships, networking with employers, preparing for graduate school, and securing internships, research opportunities, and full-time positions.

CPD Fellows can help you:

• Get started with career exploration
• Build and review your resume
• Learn how to use Handshake and VMock
• Find opportunities and get involved on campus
• Navigate CPD resources and programs
• Answer questions about their own experiences and career journeys
