Hiring CECS Students
Connection Guide for Community Partners
The Center for Student Success (CSS) combines Academic Advising, Career Development, and Community Outreach under one department within the College of Engineering and Computer Science. This provides us a unique opportunity to empower and guide individuals in a transparent and synergistic manner, pooling our expertise to provide real impact to our students. We want to maximize this alliance through the support of our community partners.
The CSS strives to build a bridge between external partners and our talented students. Here are some connection points to our college that can help propel the relationship between community partners and UTC:
