Resources for Diverse Populations
The Office of Career Development and Professional Engagement is committed to providing equitable access to career resources for students from all backgrounds. As you are exploring opportunities, it is important to research an organization’s commitment to DEI initiatives. You can often research organizations through informational interviews, LinkedIn company profiles, company websites, professional associations, and affinity groups. To further assist, we’ve compiled a list of career-related websites for students from diverse populations, both general and also organized by specific population.
