Students and Alumni
The Smith Career Center is an integral part of the networks between Bradley University students and employers. We do much more than help students find a job. We provide comprehensive career services and extensive networking opportunities. Our innovative programs respond to current trends and economic conditions affecting the job market and career opportunities.

Through the Smith Career Center students and alumni can: We encourage students to meet with a career advisor as early as their freshman year to identify goals, assess interests and abilities, and consider how an internship or part-time job could fit into their academic plans.

We won't ask you to take a number-and we won't treat you like a statistic. We will provide individual career assistance and networking opportunities.
