If you are looking to work on campus, be sure to connect with Abby for guidance! You can reach Abby in-person Tuesday through Thursday at the CCD, and Monday/Friday virtually on Teams.
Jeanette Suarez is our new Career Counselor! She meets with students and alumni to discuss and support their career related needs, such as career assessment, career planning and goal setting, job and internship search applications (resumes, cover letters), interview preparation, grad school planning, and much more.

Reminder: Undergraduate Experiential Learning Requirement
We would like to share a reminder for our undergraduates regarding Manhattanville‘s undergraduate experiential learning requirements:
In alignment with our institution's goal to catalyze and support student academic and career success, Manhattanville elected to implement a General Education experiential learning requirement for all Manhattanville undergraduates beginning with first year students enrolling Fall of 2023.
This requirement stipulates that Manhattanville undergraduates need to complete 1-3 academic credits of an approved experiential learning activity prior to graduation, and can be fulfilled by:
Completing an *internship and an internship course (XXX 4497) associated with their major;
Completing an Atlas 4th credit service-learning experience and service-learning course (MVL 4500); or Experiential Learning Project Course (IDS 3001)
Completing a study abroad experience and associated study abroad course (MVL.2005 Study Abroad Experience);
Nursing or Rad Tech clinical courses (NUR XXXXC/CM/CP
Student Teaching and Seminar (EDU 3032/3027/3039/3384)
or an approved course that satisfies the experiential learning requirements.
(*Students seeking to meet the requirement through an internship should start their preparations at least a semester in advance, as internships are competitive experiences with varying application deadlines, and some (such as in financial services) starting applications up to a year in advance.)
Students can see specific details on the experiential learning webpage, and should contact their academic advisor, faculty advisor, or schedule a meeting with a career counselor (via Handshake) with any questions.
