Engaging Campus as an Employer

Bradley University students have been fortunate to have increased opportunities for internships and full-time jobs as a result of connections made through our alumni. We know that much of the new employer recruitment activity at Bradley was initiated because of Bradley alumni. We are grateful to all the alumni who made a special effort to have their employer consider Bradley University candidates as interns and new or experienced hires.

The Smith Career Center connects employers with Bradley University students through impactful resources and a dedicated team. Whatever your organization’s needs are, the SCC ensures that the next generation of leaders and innovators is ready to help. We can post jobs/internships, help you visit campus for fairs and events, connect your organization with faculty, and discuss your overall recruitment strategy.
