We help students discover their strengths, learn career skills through workshops and individual appointments to explore potential majors, careers, internships, and jobs. Students gain real-world job experience through our strong internship program, tools for graduate or professional school applications, and an extensive Sewanee network.
Sewanee considers internships and research fellowships a valuable and integral part of a field of study—an important way to gain insight into a career field, obtain valuable professional experience, and develop new skills. Sewanee's internship funding program is funded by 50 endowed internship funds established by very generous donors and through donors' annual gifts.
Attend workshops, panels, and other events hosted by Career Readiness. Connect with alumni and others you know, learn about companies or industries of interest, and prepare to be surprised at all of the amazing careers crafted by Sewanee alumni.
Sewanee offers employers and recruiters from graduate and professional schools access to bright, motivated students and alumni. We also invite Sewanee alumni and others to support career-readiness.
When Sewanee students graduate, they head in many directions and pursue a wide variety of first jobs. Many head straight to graduate or professional school. Some do both at once. With preparation and support, Sewanee graduates pursue their early career path beyond the gates with purpose and confidence.
The Sewanee alumni network includes nearly 20,000 people who stand ready to help. Supported through Career Readiness + Student Success and Sewanee's Office of Alumni and Parent Programs, LinkedIn and Sewanee Gateway are robust tools for developing and nurturing a professional network.
