Career Services & Leadership Development Center

Join us for our Spring 2025 Career & Graduate School Fair 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM Wednesday, February 26, 2025. We are expecting a broad range of recruiters from over 90 corporate, government, non-profit, and other professional career opportunities as well as graduate and professional schools. Students and employers can register using the links below for SSU Handshake.

Employers and University partners can post career and internships opportunities as well as view student resumes and schedule interviews. They can also post special events and panel discussions.

The STRIPES Program provides students the opportunity to participate in community/volunteer services and attend extracurricular seminars to assist with academic, personal, professional, and leadership development. STRIPES participation is documented and archived allowing students to retrieve a co-curricular transcript detailing their commitment to community service and personal development outside the classroom.

The CSLD Center provides learning opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills and professional preparation throughout their enrollment. Students can schedule appointments to complete leadership assessments, receive advisement on leadership decisions, or to participate in self-directed leadership activities. The CSLD Center also sponsors a variety of leadership trainings and extended leadership institutes throughout the year.

Services are also available to SSU alumni for assistance in job searches, career coaching, and additional professional resources for professional development. The CSLD Center also works in collaboration with the Alumni Relations Office to provide a network for future graduates and to call upon alumni to speak on panels and in classes. Alumni are often called upon to assist with mock interviews and other extracurricular programming and to represent their corporations and agencies at the Career & Graduate School Fair each semester.
