Engineering Career Envoys

Engineering Career Envoys are engineering students who have completed at least one co-op or internship experience and who help promote programs supported by both our office and the College of Engineering. They can answer questions about résumés, cover letters, interviews, and professionalism at work. They can also give you their perspective on short-term work experiences during their degree programs. Please note that students in any major can talk to any of the Envoys! 

Office Hours

Envoys are available during business hours on a walk-in basis in 117 Hammond Building and 109 ECoRE (limited hours).

For questions outside of office hours, please contact the Envoys by email.
