Career and Professional Development Fellows

Our Career and Professional Development Fellows are undergraduate 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.

Fellows meet with undergraduate students in the College of Arts & Sciences each semester. Since our CPD Fellows are students like you, hours are offered a little after the start of classes and wrap up before finals each semester.
There are no Drop-In hours in the summer or when class is not in session.
