The CDO’s Employer Relations team continually cultivates strong recruiting relationships with key employers representing the Public, Nonprofit, and Private sectors of the U.S. and global economies. Many of these employers include SPEA Alumni/ae who actively participate in signature CDO recruiting and networking events, both on- and off-campus. Our annual Career Networking and Exploration Trips (CNETs) to Washington DC, Chicago, and Indianapolis attract hundreds of alumni and employer representatives, all of which have a vested interest in connecting with current students. Each fall the CDO stages its annual Career Expo to bring employers and SPEA students together to share internship and job opportunities. Add to these our numerous on-campus career and internship information sessions with alumni and recruiters – the CDO and SPEA community serves as an important conduit to your post-SPEA career direction.
