The office facilitates a program called “Career Conversations” by inviting professionals to the campus who are working in a variety of health-related occupations. USP students have the opportunity to interface with these individuals who share insights about their individual work environments.

Every fall and spring, two Annual USP Career Fairs take place on campus to provide students with the opportunity to meet with employers representing many different areas of the health care industry. During these two events, there are also career seminars to provide information about the various career options. USP students can meet with employers and utilize their networking skills for future employment opportunities. During the year, there is also a Graduate and Professional School Information Fair attended by admission representatives of various graduate and professional schools. The representatives come to campus to speak with USP talent about graduate and professional school admissions.
