MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN As Dean of the College of Business Administration, I am proud to support the efforts of our Career Services Office in helping business students meet their potential, as well as meet the needs of employers in Northeast Ohio and beyond. The college’s Career Services Office is dedicated to providing a full range of services including career advising, interview preparation, and resources to assist students in making a positive, lasting impression on prospective employers. These programs range from the Top Student Scholars Showcase to etiquette dinners to a Career Closet Scholarship. In addition, the college now requires a Professional Development course of all undergraduate business students, in alignment with the NACE Career Readiness Competencies, to jump start the career preparation and skill development process. Business students are introduced to comprehensive resources and specialized career fairs offered through the Career Services Office beginning their first year on campus. Employer outreach and engagement is another aspect of the work of the Career Services Office, which facilitates employer participation in mock interviews, recruiting events, panelist opportunities, guest résumé reviews, information tables, and dining and networking events. Our students are well prepared and the Career Services Office stands ready to assist you in meeting your talent needs. Sincerely, Deborah F. Spake, Ph.D. Dean
