IMPORTANT UPDATE: Health Professions & Science Research Career Advising have MOVED
The Health Professions and STEM Advising Team of Mary Lothrop and Hannah Benz has moved from the Center for Careers and Internships (CCI) to the Center for Teaching, Learning and Research (CTLR). The team is now part of the Fellowships and Undergraduate Research Office which aligns advising and programmatic functions that are similar in purpose, and expands and enhances advising in the sciences and for health professions students.
What does this mean for students interested in data science/analytics & technology?
Career advising for those interested in career paths in technology and data science/analytics will continue to be served by the CCI. Students who are interested in these career paths can schedule appointments with Jeff Sawyer through Handshake, will receive information about upcoming career field events and news through the Sunday evening newsletter, and should continue to engage in career exploration and development programs offered by the CCI.
What does this mean for students interested in health professions or science research careers?
Please e-mail Mary or Hannah directly to set up a health professions or science research advising appointment. Additionally, Mary and Hannah will be publicize events through the CTLR website and MiddPresence, so keep an eye out for communications from about deadlines, workshops, panels, and information sessions.
Additional resources for students pursuing Health Professions or Science Research can be found on the CTLR website including: Academic Course Requirements and the Medical School Application Timeline.

What is the Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP)?
The Workforce Recruiting Program for College Students with Disabilities (WRP) is a recruitment and referral program that connects Federal Government and select private-sector employers nationwide with highly motivated college students, graduate students, and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through paid summer or permanent jobs.
Participating in the WRP is an excellent way to:
- find an internship or permanent position
- explore careers in the federal service
- gain interviewing experience
To apply for WRP, you must:
- have a disability AND
- be a U.S. citizen AND
- be enrolled to seek a degree at a U.S. Department of Education accredited institution of higher education on a substantially full-time basis (unless your disability precludes you from taking a substantially full-time load or it is your last term before graduating) OR
- have graduated from such a school within the past two years (April 1, 2019 or later).
To speak to a CCI Advisor about this program, contact Tim Mosehauer or schedule an appointment on Handshake.
Attend the information session on Thursday, September 29th at 4:30 PM. Register in Handshake.
Complete your CCI Student Code of Conduct
The Student Code of Conduct survey establishes the guidelines by which you may access and apply to opportunities posted in Handshake. Please complete this three-question survey as soon as possible to show that you commit to internship and job search ethics. To take the survey, log in to Handshake and click Career Center > Surveys.
- MISREPRESENTATION: I will represent myself accurately in all application processes (resumes, cover letters, interviews, program applications). Examples of misrepresentation may also include GPA inflation, exaggerated job responsibilities, citizenship/visa status, or overstated foreign language competency.
- SCHEDULED INTERVIEWS: I will arrive 10 minutes prior to all scheduled on-campus interviews. If I need to cancel a scheduled interview, I will notify my career center at least two business days prior to the scheduled on-campus interview. Late cancellations, no shows, and tardiness may forfeit my on-campus recruiting privileges.
- OFFERS: After I accept an internship or job offer, I agree to immediately withdraw all pending applications and cancel all scheduled interviews (on- and off-campus). I will notify my career center that I have accepted an offer.
You must complete this survey in order to utilize many Handshake features including scheduling appointments or interviews, and applying for opportunities.
