The 7th Annual Career Discovery Week
 Career Resources

Your career exploration doesn't need to end with Career Discovery Week. The UW Alumni Association—and the career centers on all three UW campuses—offer outstanding career development resources for students and alumni.

UWAA Husky Career Advantage
As the UW Alumni Association’s career services program, Husky Career Advantage supports the career development of UW alumni and students through its Web site, programs and events. Its cornerstone is the direct involvement of alumni volunteers ... Huskies Helping Huskies!

Career Connections is one of the key offerings of Husky Career Advantage. Career Connections is a searchable worldwide network of more than 4,800 UW alumni and friends (called Career Connections contacts) who have volunteered to answer career related questions. Contacts may share information about their field of work and the career path they took to arrive at their current position. Contacts may also offer internship/job search tips or networking referrals.

Career Connections is available 24/7 – exclusively to current UW students and UW Alumni Association members. It's your instant Husky Network. Check it out at www.UWalum.com!

And, looking ahead to Spring Quarter ... UW students will want to make a note in their planners that the Sixth Annual Husky Career Lunch will be held on April 11th in the HUB.
