Faculty + Staff Career Champion Collective

Career Champion Collective

Faculty and staff play a powerful role in shaping students’ career journeys. The Career Champion Collective connects you with the right programs, tools, and resources at the right time—so together, we can empower students to thrive beyond UB.

Here you’ll find:

  • Programs just for you: Engage with the Career Design Center, become a Career Champion, and collaborate with colleagues across campus.
  • Faculty + Staff Resources: Ready-to-use strategies to weave career readiness into your teaching and mentoring.
  • Student Career Resources + Events: Stay informed and guide students to meaningful opportunities.

By working together, we can help UB students navigate their careers with confidence.
