OSPGD Goes Virtual
The Office of Student and Post-Graduate Development quickly shifted to online operations as the pandemic shut down in-person classes and operations across the country, helping students find internships and responding quickly to the needs of alumni.

If your student hasn't yet connected with the helpful people there, he or she should do so soon!
