Our faculty is composed of internationally-renowned scholars, dedicated educators and successful practitioners. Furthermore, our Career Strategy and Advancement team is dedicated to providing resources to help our students and alumni achieve long-term career success and satisfaction by offering one-on-one career counseling, resume and cover letter reviews, mock interviews, recruiting events, pro bono opportunities, professional development workshops and other career resources.
