How closely does the Career Hub work with other schools on campus?

All the career services offices on the Bloomington campus work closely together. Directors from each of the schools meet monthly, and campus-level committees made up of members from each school also meet monthly to align campus-wide efforts for career education and employer relations. This allows each school to provide specialized coaching to its students while maintaining the same level of excellence in service and support across campus.
