Welcome to the Arts, Media, and Communication Career Community! There are a ton of career resources at career.uconn.edu, but it can be challenging at times to find exactly what you are looking for as a student interested in Arts, Media, and Communication. This Career Community is meant to make it easier to find information directly related to your career interests. Here are the sections of the page that you may find useful:
Featured Events – The Center for Career Development posts events specifically related to careers in Arts, Media, and Communication. These may be in-person or virtual events that are put on by our office, other departments on campus, or by groups outside of UConn. For example, you may be interested in our webinars at the end of September about setting up a professional website using Wix.com, or our School of Fine Arts Career Panels in October and November to hear different SFA Alumni’s stories of where they are now and how they got there.
Featured Articles – There are a lot of career related articles online, and even on our career website, that you can look at, but the featured articles within this community page have been chosen specifically for students within this community.

Take a look at these Husky Mentors, see who had the same major, or a career path that interests you, and then connect with them to talk more. Networking with these individuals can be a bit easier knowing they have volunteered to be a part of this network.
