Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Career Development and Alumni Engagement stands in solidarity with the CSUCI community and rejects any form of racism and discrimination. We are firm in our commitment to provide inclusive support and resources to enable all students and alumni to seek job and internship opportunities with organizations who honor, respect and practice diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. It is our individual and collective responsibility to recognize, identify and act to eliminate systemic racism, bigotry and inequities, to strive for a more inclusive and diverse world. We encourage you to review our diversity resources.
Intersectionality
It is important to acknowledge that individuals hold multiple,overlapping identities which influence the types of challenges minoritized populations will face in their career journeys. With this in mind, you are welcome and encouraged to explore resources for any of the populations listed below.
This list is not exhaustive but is here to serve as a foundation or starting point. When using non-CSUCI links, please use your best judgement and reach out to us if you have any questions. If you have any resources you would like to have added to the list, please email career.services@csuci.edu. Thank you!
