CAREER SERVICES CENTER

The Career Services Center, in Marquette Hall, offers career assistance to students, graduating seniors and alumni. It assists students seeking internships, graduating seniors looking for entry-level positions and alumni looking for new or different career positions. Career Services teaches life-long job search skills and helps graduating students achieve a smooth transition from education to their career field. Resources in the career library also are available for students applying to graduate or professional schools or for prestigious scholarships and fellowships.

Students and alumni are brought together with employers in a variety of ways. Approximately 350 employer interview visits are conducted each year resulting in approximately 3,000 campus interviews. Students can register for interviews via telephone once they complete a résumé disk and are entered into the database system. This also allows Career Services to send out résumés at the request of employers.

The Career Services Center has a website and advertises all internships and jobs through a program at this site called "MU CareerTrak." Any Marquette student or alum who can access the World Wide Web can make use of the job openings on "CareerTrak." In addition, many other job databases, employer resources, and career information sites are linked to the CSC homepage. Computers are available in the career library for student use.

The Career Services library contains descriptive brochures and annual reports on a wide variety of employers, general information on government employment, specific public and private job announcements, directories of specific groups of employer information, and self-help books on the job search process. Several national job listings also can be accessed on the personal computers in the library. Also available are directories of graduate and professional school programs and information booklets and registration forms for advanced study entrance tests including the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, etc.

Seminars for small groups are conducted regularly throughout the year on the job search, résumé writing, interviewing. Individual counseling is available by appointment on all of these topics or other career-related concerns. Every afternoon from 1:30 p.m. p.m to 4:30 p.m., students can drop in with résumés ready for polishing or other quick career-related questions and see a counselor or a career intern without an appointment.

The main office, (414) 288-7423, and the career library with counselor's offices, (414) 288-3577, are located in the lower level of Marquette Hall and are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. In addition, the library is open on Monday and Thursday evenings until 6:30 p.m.

CUDAHY HALL

Most of the downtown classes are held in Cudahy Hall, a state-of-the-art academic computing facility completed in 1994. The five-level building is organized around a spacious central atrium that extends to all floors. A skylight roof canopies over the atrium, lending a luminous, open atmosphere to all 103,000 square feet of the building. On the ground floor, you'll find a 194-seat auditorium with high-tech video equipment. The first floor is devoted to classrooms and computer labs.

The second floor is home to Information Technology Services. For students, the main attraction is IT Services' computer lab, open nearly 24 hours during the academic year. Instead of computer stations lined up in a row, the lab has 12 large hexagonal tables staggered across the room. Six hardware devices fan out from each table's center. And to minimize screen glare, lighting rails illuminate the room by bouncing light off the ceiling. Huddling the second-floor main lab are three classrooms where consultants teach free non-credit training sessions in VAX, PC and Macintosh environments.

The $12 million facility is named for Katharine Reed Cudahy, mother of the building's principal donor, Michael Cudahy. Cudahy is the founder of GE Marquette Medical Systems, a Milwaukee-based manufacturer of equipment used in medical diagnosis.
