CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPORT
The Career Development Center (CDC) at the A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management is a comprehensive career-focused resource center for all graduate business students at UC Riverside. The Center aims to provide students the tools necessary to succeed in their internships, job searches, and ultimately as business leaders throughout the world.
GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE FUND
Each year our graduate students have the opportunity to attend various career conferences across the country. Some of the larger conferences are the National Black MBA Conference with an average of 7,000 attendees and the Prospanica Conference with an average of 3,000 attendees. These conferences play a huge role in securing student interviews and jobs with major companies. Many of these companies conduct interviews and extend job offers on the spot. While UCR has had a presence at these conferences in the past, a larger presence restricted by the financial burden it puts on our students.

While there are a number of internship opportunities not all internships are paid.
An internship fund would help to provide a stipend to those students who have an unpaid internship and apply for funding.
