Southwestern Company Campus Relations

Ralph Brigham is presenting Kathy Sims, Director of the UCLA Career Center with a plaque recognizing the UCLA students placing #8 in the world in student profit.

Another example of a partnership came from the Career Center at UCLA.  This past year UCLA was the #8 campus in the world in terms of the profit that students made and returned to their campus with at the end of the summer.  UCLA was #8 out of over 300 campuses in the world.  When we presented the UCLA Career Center with their plaque, there were several UCLA students who talked about what they learned from this experience and how much they had grown.  As an outgrowth, we have now been asked back to share more information about Southwestern with all the counselors in the Career Center.

This is the first time that UCLA has been a Top 10 campus and it was through a lot of hard work by our recruiters and also extensive training and mentoring of the students to be successful throughout the summer.  It is much easier to recruit students when the professionals in the campus career center understand the work and can suggest ways to leverage the experience.  One of the goals of campus recruiting at Southwestern is to work with and through the career center on each campus and it’s a real pleasure to work with so many professionals at the UCLA Career Center.
