On behalf of the staff of the
Cawley Career Education Center at
Georgetown University, I am pleased to
present our 2015-2016 Annual Report.
This report showcases the outstanding
work of the Career Center staff as
educators of Georgetown University
students and alumni. Our focus
on Student Education, Employer
Engagement, and Collaboration &
Outreach captures the way in which
we work with students, employers, and
Georgetown colleagues on campus and
beyond the Hilltop.
The Cawley Career Education Center
provides comprehensive career
services to all Georgetown University
undergraduate students, graduate
students enrolled in a number of
academic programs, and alumni.
Our goal is to provide high-quality
career education programs that are
customized to each student’s needs.

networking events, job and internship

designed to provide support for
students who are on campus or
studying abroad.
These services are delivered with
Georgetown’s Jesuit values in mind—
such as caring for the whole person,
facilitating opportunities for service
to others, and encouraging student
reflection along the way. It is the
intersection of the quality of our career
programs and the student-focused
manner in which they are delivered
that makes us a unique career
development center.
I hope that this report conveys
a narrative on how the Cawley
Career Education Center strives to
provide innovative career services
to equip students for life-long career
development and prepare them to make
a difference in the world.

Our career counselors meet one-on-one with students
interested in exploring career and major options and
graduate school. In addition, our counselors facilitate
educational workshops to help students learn valuable
career development skills.
FY16 Highlights:
• Created Career Development Cycle that empowers
students to understand the career development
process in an iterative, introspection-driven way.
• Trained and mentored two PhD students completing
a year-long internship in career-focused counseling
at our center; two staff members shared best
practices from our internship program at a national
conference in July 2015.
• Completed the third semester of our Career
Development Course for first-generation students.
For students who know which industry they want to
pursue or explore further, our industry advisors work
with students one-on-one to create a plan for pursuing
full-time or internship opportunities in a wide variety of
industries.
FY16 Highlights:
• Managed two multi-industry Career Fairs with 200
employers and over 2,000 students; a Creative
Industries Career Fair; and a Health Sciences Career
Fair.
• Instituted the first Reverse Career Fair to connect
employers with Georgetown student organizations.
• Conducted an on campus Wall Street Internships
workshop to educate sophomores and juniors on
the changes to the recruiting timeline and how to
prepare.

Customized Programming Student CollaborationPromoting Reflection
With the Jesuit Values serving as
the foundation of our programs and
services, we encourage students to
engage in reflection throughout their
career development process. This
year, we placed a specific emphasis
on the Jesuit value: Contemplation
in Action. We launched a new
workshop, Career Contemplation in
Action, to provide a group setting
where students can mutually explore
knowledge of self, their environment,
and the career development process.
In recognition of the increasing
demand for industry-specific
resources, we created additional
avenues for students to connect with
industry resources and networks
through customized programming.
This year, we hosted several industry-
specific events including: Careers
in Music Panel with GRAMMYU,
Navigating USAJobs & Beyond
workshop at the Career Expo, Nursing
and Healthcare Career Fairs, and Wall
Street Recruiting 101 workshop.
To best align our programs with
current student needs, we
developed key relationships with
students and student groups. We
restructured our Career Advisory
Council to the student-driven Cawley
Career Ambassador program. Our
Ambassadors provided feedback to
improve our programs, participated in
Career Center events, and proposed
specialized projects for the Career
Center to better connect with
students.
Our Priorities
Every year, we establish Center priorities to focus our efforts on goals identified in our strategic
plan. This year, we focused on promoting reflection, offering customized programming, and
increasing our engagement and collaboration with student groups.
“I became involved early in the year with the Cawley Career
Education Center because I wanted to get a head start on the
career development process. I went multiple times for resume
checks and more informal talks regarding what direction I
wanted to go in the future. I would highly advise every student
to spare a few minutes and look at all the services and
programs the Career Center has to offer. Your thoughts about
your next few years might make you anxious or apprehensive,
but you are not in the process alone. Stop by the center and
you will find a group of people happy to help you.”
Bryan Karas (C'19)

This year, we launched our Career Development Cycle to
serve as a developmental tool to guide students through
their job search process. Our Career Development Cycle
serves as the framework for many of our advising and
counseling appointments.
The bicycle serves as a metaphor for how different
parts of the process work together to move students
towards their ideal career. The five parts of the cycle
(introspection, information gathering, preparing materials,
making connections, and applying) represent the cyclical
process that we encourage students to explore as they
lead their job or internship search.
Since its inception, the Career Development Cycle
has been a valuable tool to articulate the process
to students, and provides a manageable plan that is
relatable for undergraduate and graduate students and
young alumni who may still be refining their search.
Our Approach
We strive to serve as a partner in each student’s journey to pursue a meaningful career upon
leaving the Hilltop. Our goal is to provide students with the knowledge and resources to be
career-ready in their transition to the professional world.
The Career Development Cycle
"As a freshman, I wasn’t quite sure how the Career Center could play
a role so early in my education. It was through the recommendation
of a friend that I signed up for the Career Course. The small class
setting allowed for individualized attention and for the other
students to positively contribute to each other's experiences. The
course ultimately prepared me for the application processes for the
internships I applied to over the summer and helped in building my
confidence as a student capable of succeeding in 'the real world.'"
Gabriela Barrera (SFS'19)

Career Development Course
Special Populations
School of Foreign Service School of Nursing & Health Studies
Our Career Development Course is a nine week course
for first generation college students. The purpose of this
non-credit course is to engage students in a holistic
approach to career exploration, beginning with reflection
and concluding with the formation of a customized strategic
career development plan. Topics covered in the course
include clarifying values, decision making, interviewing, and
personal branding. The course was offered both spring and
fall semesters and 23 students representing all academic
years and schools completed the course.
In recognition of the importance of responding to unique
student needs, we focused intentional efforts on creating
programming for graduate students, international students,
and student athletes. We co-sponsored two workshops
for graduate students at the Center and connected with
over 850 graduate students. To better assist international
students in their job and internship search, we hosted
a panel of international students who shared how they
successfully obtained internships in the US. Finally, we
collaborated with the Academic Resource Center to develop
career-specific programming for the Varsity Women’s
Basketball and Football teams.
School-Based Teams
Our school-based teams create customized programming and outreach to the four primary undergraduate schools. Through
focused efforts, we've developed new partnerships and strengthened relationships with deans and faculty.
The NHS team prioritized creating industry-specific
opportunities for NHS students and achieved a 6%
increase in NHS student engagement with the Career
Center. Allison and Greg held office hours in St. Mary's to
bring career advising to a familiar space. The NHS team
hosted the first Nursing Career Fair that connected over
50 nursing students with 12 employers.
The SFS team conducted "Strategies for Success"
weekly career advising appointments for SFS students
in the ICC. They strengthened relationships with SFS
faculty and students by attending meetings with the
Deans and Academic Council leaders. Finally, the
team hosted the RCST Panel at the Career Center and
attended a number of SFS events.
Georgetown College
School of Foreign Service
McDonough School of Business
School of Nursing & Health Studies
The College team partnered with the College to host the
11th annual Careers for the Common Good for students
interested in careers that serve others. Additionally,
College Deans and DUGS from multiple departments
joined the College team at the Center for a summer
reception to mingle and plan ideas for the upcoming
year.
The MSB team helped coordinate over 60 employer
informational sessions for financial services and
consulting. The team hosted Peer-to-Peer Case
Workshops, Resumania, summer internship student
panels, and study abroad webinars to prepare students
for recruitment. Additionally, they met with the Academic
Council to strategize new collaboration opportunities.

Ready, Set, Connect
This speed-networking event paired 88 juniors
and seniors with successful alumni for a night of
conversation and connection. In collaboration with
the Alumni Career Services, we matched student
interests with alumni expertise for carefully
curated, six-minute chats about careers and life
after the Hilltop.
Hoya Gateway Live
Sponsored by the Board of Governors and
Board of Regents, this special networking event
brought 148 juniors and seniors together with
notable alumni for a night of open networking.
Alumni were grouped by industry, and students
were able to mix and mingle in two rounds.
Gina Kim (SFS'18)
“Georgetown's alumni network is so
welcoming and involved. There are alumni
who come back to talk to students in class
through professors, who volunteer to have
informational interviews through Hoya
Gateway, and who come to recruit. I have
loved expanding my Hoya network beyond
the gates of Georgetown and the Career
Center has helped me in doing so.”

Careers for the Common Good
Careers for the Common Good is an annual event
that brings together current undergraduates with
over 75 alumni who are working in industries and
fields that support "the common good." This event
is sponsored by nine Georgetown and community
organizations.
GEMA Externship
The GEMA externship program is a joint
effort between the Career Center and the
Georgetown Entertainment & Media Alliance. In
the fall, alumni participated in an annual career
panel for students. During spring break, alumni
in New York City and Los Angeles hosted
11 students for a week of networking and
informational interviews tailed to the students’
career goals.
Engaging Alumni & Campus Partners
We are proud to actively partner with alumni who engage on campus with current students.
We encourage students to take advantage of the Georgetown network through our signature
programs. These programs are all planned in collaboration with Georgetown administrators and
campus partners.
“The Career Center has been instrumental in
helping to engage alumni through the planning
and execution of networking events. Georgetown
alumni are constantly looking to give back to
the community, and the partnership that Alumni
Career Services has with Cawley provides alumni
the perfect opportunity to do so.”
Matt Kelly (C'08, MBA'17)
Associate Director, Alumni Career Services

Employer Engagement & Recruiting
We help facilitate direct connections between students and employers. We invite employers
to participate in a number of programs to help students discern industry and career options.
Employers engage with the Center and Georgetown students through workshops, information
sessions, on campus interviewing, and networking events.
Industry Exploration
An important part of the career development
process is helping students discern which industries
best match their skills, interests, and aspirations.
We host several industry-specific events to help
students research different fields and learn from
the experiences of alumni and employers. Below is a
sample of events we've hosted by industry.

Interview Preparation
“I came into the Career Center
feeling fairly anxious about the
career search process. I had
recently stopped taking pre-
med courses and I was unclear
about what I could do with my
HCMP major. After talking with
the staff, I discovered that I
had a strong interest in health
policy. The Career Center then
helped me find and apply for
health policy internships."
Sahil Chaudhary (NHS‘17)
We have many different ways to teach our
students the skills they need to succeed in
their interviews. This year, we conducted
154 mock interviews with students. We
launched a Peer to Peer Case Interview
Workshop that helped 32 students connect
with other Hoyas to learn the skills and
prepare for Case Style Interviews.
Hoya Career Connection
Hoya Career Connection (HCC) allows
students to search for jobs, internships,
volunteer opportunities, and fellowships.
Employers posted 6,350 internships and

Over 50 Hoyas went abroad to 15+
countries for their first experience
after graduation to work and serve in
organizations such as JPMorgan Chase,
Princeton in Latin America, Peace Corps,
and various Fulbright programs.
During the academic year, Caroline completed two
internships with Capitol Integration and Orr Associates
Caroline graduated in May and now serves as the

Where are they now?
There's no one way to be a Hoya!
There's no surprise that the Georgetown network extends all around the world. This map
shows where the Class of 2016 went in the United States after the Hilltop.
Students often feel like they must have everything figured out or pursue a
certain path. To combat that pressure, we encourage students to pursue
experiences that are aligned with their passions. We help students identify
different classes, clubs, internships, and study abroad experiences they can
include in their story.
Follow the story of Class 2016 graduate, Caroline Gelinne (C'16).
