There are over 1000 books and binders within the CDO, categorically separated to help your internship, job, or post-graduate search. Some of the resources are career specific, broken down into particular fields of interest, while others are more general career reference materials. There are domestic and international listings, with tips on interviewing, finding housing, researching prospective companies or colleges, and study guides for standardized graduate school tests. You are encouraged to make full use of the assistance provided by the counselors and CDO peer advisers.
You can learn a lot from a “day-on-the-job” experience! Check out the V-NET database to identify Vassar alumnae/i in your fields of interest who are willing to be shadowed on the job.
CDO Favorite
V-NET is a database of Vassar alumnae/i and some parents (of students and alumnae/i) who have offered their volunteer services as “Career Advisers.” This means that they have made themselves available as volunteers to offer mentoring, internships, advice and guidance. This database replaces “CAP” and contains more than 2,000 individuals who updated their information very recently.
To access V-NET, you must first register with the AAVC Online Community.
