Career Education is a Journey, not a Destination

We provide education, professional connections, skill development and mentoring to support students as they navigate career exploration and preparation. Our goal is to ensure purposeful, equitable and sustained post-graduate success for all Blue Hens.

Diversity Statement

The UD Career Center embraces the University’s commitment to diversity and inclusive excellence and is dedicated to ensuring all students’ experiences, perspectives and backgrounds are respected, recognized and integrated into career planning and development. Included in our charge, we strive to prepare diverse and historically underserved and underrepresented populations for career success. This work is essential for educating global citizens, developing knowledge and advancing and enhancing our world.

The UD Career Center is part of the ;Division of Student Life, which advances equity and inclusion, deepens student learning and drives holistic development through education, experiences and communities.
