Engineering Career Envoys

Engineering Career Envoys are undergraduate and graduate 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.

Office Hours

Envoys are located in 117 Hammond Building. See their current schedule here.

Envoys are available either on a walk-in basis or by appointment. To schedule an appointment:

  • Open your Nittany Lion Careers account, navigate to Counseling Appt. at the top right of the homepage, and select Request New Appointment.
  • Scroll down to Counselors and choose Engineering Career Envoy.
  • Select Check Availability and a list of potential meeting date/times will populate on the right side of the screen.
  • Choose the date/time that fits your schedule.
  • Share your reason for meeting and submit the request; please also indicate if you would prefer a virtual appointment to an in-person appointment.
