At Clark Atlanta University, we strive to be exceptional in everything we do. So why not start with your career preparation? Your first task: log into the Virtual Career Center.

Think of it as your career command center, where you can customize your preferences to receive tailored job and internship alerts, announcements, news, and events. Whether you’re following in the footsteps of our trailblazing alumni or forging your own path, having this resource at your disposal is essential for staying ahead. Trust us—your future self (and your bank account) will thank you.

👔 Gear Up for Recruitment Events & the Fall Career Fair

As a Clark Atlanta Panther, you know that showing up is half the battle. And when it comes to your career, attending recruitment events like the AUC Fall Career Fair on September 20 could be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for.

This is your chance to connect with top employers, sharpen your networking skills, and potentially secure that dream internship or job. Plus, nothing says Panther pride like stepping into a room full of opportunity with confidence, poise, and purpose. Make sure you’re there, because the only thing worse than missing out is explaining to your fellow Panthers why you did.

So, as you slip into your best attire and head back to campus, remember that this year is about more than just classes and social events—it’s about laying the groundwork for your future.

By taking these steps, you’ll be well on your way to becoming the next great Clark Atlanta alum to make a mark on the world. And who knows? Maybe this time next year, you’ll be the one offering advice to the incoming class. Stay focused, stay driven, and always stay true to Panther pride.
