"The Career Development Center is an amazing resource that I feel like few students in the College of Business utilize. I went there for a LinkedIn seminar and learned how to make my profile more presentable. I was even able to get a free blazer and headshot for my LinkedIn profile. On top of that, I completed two internships while at UCCS – both of which I found from attending Career Networking Night."
