Diversity Career Events

The Career Center at Notre Dame participates in the annual Diversity programs created for diverse sophomores and juniors from Big 10+ universities including the University of Notre Dame, DePaul University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago.

While these programs are not intended to provide students with internships or employment, they will offer students the opportunities to learn more about the particular career field, explore possible career paths and develop potential networks.

Many students have reported positive relationships that have resulted in internships, employment, and decisions to continue their education beyond an undergraduate degree.

Please note that the resumes of selected students will be sent to all participating firms and organizations.

Diversity on LaSalle Street

On Friday, November 14, 2008, fifteen students from each university will have breakfast, see the opening at the Chicago Board of Trade, attend a networking lunch with all participating students, and tour two corporations.
