Student and Alumni Services

Career Services provides assistance and resources for every aspect of career development, from choosing a major or career path, to developing the skills necessary to pursue one's goals. Among the many services offered are career counseling, access to career resource materials, workshops, and volunteer, internship, and/or employment opportunities.

SUNY Cortland alumni may take advantage of many of the services offered by Career Services well beyond graduation. Alumni are also encouraged to stay connected with their alma mater by sponsoring internships and job shadow opportunities when possible.
