Faculty Resources

Given your knowledge and experience, faculty members are key players in the establishment of students' professional careers. Professors, lecturers, TAs and AIs can support students by supplying information about workplace realities, identifying contacts in appropriate fields, and writing letters of recommendation for jobs and graduate programs. For these reasons and many more, our office regards faculty as crucial, collaborative "career agents" in our endeavor to provide social work students at UT Austin with first-class career services.

Class Presentations

With the demands of teaching and research, you have more than enough to occupy your time. However, the facilitation of career exploration on behalf of students is sure to win you points on course evaluations. If you would like assistance developing mechanisms to integrate career exploration into your students' classroom experience, our staff is prepared to help. We can facilitate brief presentations designed to introduce students to our office, or we can design longer presentations on more specific topics. For more information, contact Jennifer Luna-Iduñate, Director at 475-8131 or jluna-idunate@mail.utexas.edu
