• Private sector (including small business and start-ups)
The EDs will build multi-faceted relationships with potential employers of GW students and alumni. The EDs will also enhance existing relationships with potential employers and contribute directly and indirectly to the education of career services staff, students, and alumni via electronic communication and event programming.
