The Center for Career and Professional Advising (CCPA) empowers students and alumni to learn about and prepare for meaningful work, as they translate their Haverford liberal arts education into a rewarding life. In short, we are here to help students explore, identify, and realize their career and professional goals.
The CCPA wants 100% of the Class of 2022 to have a reviewed resume by the end of their Sophomore year, and we are launching the Sophomore Resume Initiative to get it done!
My name is Sarah Curtis (’20, she/her/hers) and I am a rising senior and biology major. This summer I am sponsored by the Jaharis Fellowship to work in primary care at Tufts Medical Center (Boston, MA). I’m going to take you through an average day of work today, so sit down and strap in!
Starting this fall, the CCPA will be hosting Peer Career Advising Hours! These sessions will be run by the office’s Advising Intern, Alex Venturini ’21. Alex will be able to assist students of all class years with Handshake, Haverford Connect, on-the-spot resume reviews, and the navigation of CCPA resources. Check out his hours here.

“To learn more about the practice of medicine, I knew I wanted to spend this summer engaged in a patient-care centered environment. Thanks to funding from the Jaharis Primary Care Pre-Medical Internship, I spent my summer as an intern with a family medicine physician at the OptumCare clinic in Cypress, CA.” – Arielle Schultz ’20
Happy October! Time for Pumpkin Spice, Halloween, and career development! Check out our events this week!
We have organized so much tech programming that we can’t fit our whole schedule into one week- or even one month for that matter! So, we are super excited to announce the 2019 TRI-CO TECH DAYS! These days span across September, October, and may even extend into November, and include employer info sessions, alumni career chats, technical skill development, and lots of recruiting/hiring opportunities!
