Career CounselingThe alumni counseling fee at the New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden career centers is $50 for each one-hour session.

Our "drop-in" services are designed for quick résumé critiques and quick answers for current students.
Employment FairsAlumni are welcome to participate in general and specialized employment fairs sponsored free of charge on all three campuses throughout the year, featuring hundreds of local and national employers.
