Center for Career Services
Diversity Resources
Diversity in the workplace is a pressing initiative for many organizations, large and small, as they build the talent pools required to meet the needs of more global and multicultural work environments. The following links provide many resources for diversity candidates in career planning and summer learning experience, job, and graduate school searches. We encourage students to speak with a Career Services Advisor to see how these resources can be used to further your career decision-making and related searches, and to consult on any specific issues you may encounter in your efforts. To make an appointment please call us at 315-228-7380.
The Center for Career Services is committed to providing the highest quality assistance to all students in their efforts to translate their Colgate liberal arts education into diverse postgraduate opportunities. Just let us know how we can assist you. Also, if your favorite resource is not listed here, please advise us so we can share it with others.
