Career Advising

Brown offers students a wealth of resources to help them explore and work toward their professional aspirations. The central location for career advising is Brown’s Center for Careers and Life After Brown. CareerLAB offers daily walk-in hours and individual appointments; workshops on career exploration and resume and cover letter preparation; information about internships and interviewing; special events on various career fields involving alumni experts; and an extensive collection of online and print resources on career fields, internship opportunities, job search techniques, graduate school, and more. Brown students are encouraged to meet with a CareerLAB advisor if they are seeking an internship or an off-campus job, or as soon as they want help with any aspect of the career development process.

In addition to the services provided by CareerLAB, Brown faculty, academic deans, and administrative staff are always happy to discuss students’ educational plans and professional goals. Students may also call on a vast network of Brown alumni to help them identify and work toward their goals. The Office of Alumni Relations provides students with a database of 8,000 alumni who participate in a mentoring program for Brown undergraduates. Students can go to http://alumni.brown.edu, register for Brown Alumni Online, and click BRUnet to get started.
