Resources for Underrepresented Students

Historically and presently, diversity and inclusion have been undervalued or poorly practiced in the workplace. There are many unique challenges faced by multicultural students, international, first-generation, disabled, neurodiverse and female students, including underrepresentation, discriminatory hiring practices and lack of employment support. CCI wants to stand with you and help you discover your calling, develop your gifts and direct your career journey.

To this end, we have built events and support offerings into our regular programming that will provide guidance that is specific to you, and we have developed website resources with unique opportunities including networks, associations and internship and job opportunities related to your professional development (see below). CCI is committed to helping you open doors that get you where you want to go. CCI hopes these resources are a helpful primer in beginning the conversation between you and your CCI career coach.

Opportunities

Exploring your calling is as much about pursuing what interests you as it is about knowing what doesn’t. Gordon is a safe place to step outside your comfort zone, take risks, try new things and learn in the process. Complete an internship (or two or three). Start a new venture. Take advantage of on-campus and local employment. Expand your studies through research and fellowships.
