Career-Related Inquires
Many students are interested in pursuing specific career fields. We encourage all students to work through the Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) to connect with companies about the potential for employment. However, if you are struggling to find information about specific companies or interest fields, we may be able to help connect you with alumni who can help. If you’d like to be connected with an alumnus/a to ask specific questions, contact Geoff Seber to set up an appointment at seberg@rpi.edu.
