Give a Gopher a hand: share your career story

Everybody can use some advice. Give a Gopher a hand by sharing your experiences. Our students would love to hear your story. We are collecting alumni career stories that will be featured on the CLA Career Services website. Your name will not be associated with your story to maintain your privacy.

Join CLA's official LinkedIn group

Network with CLA alumni and current students on the "College of Liberal Arts, University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) group " and exchange career related advice and resources.

Offer advice
