As another Social Welfare student liaison, Khiet Ho Jenkins has had a great deal of experience with Career Services. Her involvement with the center, she says, was more in development, and in working alongside the Career Services team and other students to address student needs. “I think the Career Center is an invaluable resource for most students. The workshops we were able to bring were helpful for the student body as a whole. The Women in the Workplace Leadership workshop was empowering and affirming, and it provided a much-‐needed discussion space regarding gender and professional development. “Ezra” Justin Lee, Urban Planning, 2013 Ezra recently discovered Career Services when he visited the office for help with salary negotiation. “Career Services is a helpful, often underutilized resource that is available to all Luskin students.” ALUMNI Margarita Luna, Social Welfare, 2003 Program Manager, California Endowment “Luskin Career Services has created opportunities for me to stay connected and engaged in the Luskin community. The staff has been particularly receptive and helpful in executing events that are of interest to students and alumni alike, including the “Women’s Leadership in the Workplace” brown bag that I helped plan in Spring Quarter of 2013. I look forward to continuing to take advantage of these opportunities to develop as a professional and learn from students and fellow alumni through the Luskin Career Services.” Herschell Knapp, Ph.D. Social Welfare, 2001: Health Science Specialist, VA, Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System “It’s been my honor to partake in the Luskin Career Services; it’s a privilege to mingle with experienced professionals and the bright students developing their skills. For me, part of being a competent professional involves sharing with others – not just health science research findings through traditional publications, but working with students to help them find their professional path based on their interests and unique personalities. I see Luskin Career Services as an excellent resource for building connections, offering guidance, and facilitating the personal, academic and professional advancement for these noble Bruins. I look forward to further participating in the development of this worthy network.”
Everardo Alvizo, Social Welfare, 2008 Program Analyst, Special Service for Groups "As an alumni, the Luskin Career Services has helped tremendously in keeping me connected to the Luskin Social Welfare community. At the Social Welfare Networking Lunch in May 2013, I was able to not only network with my peers who are in the field already, but also meet and give advice to current students. There often is a smaller cohort that focuses on the 'macro' side of social welfare, so I'm eager for opportunities to inform students about what a career in macro social work looks like. In addition, I appreciate any chance to stay connected with my alma mater. Go Bruins!" EMPLOYERS Glen Fowler: Recruiting and Training Manager, California State Auditor "We recruit from the Luskin School of Public Affairs because we've found that the graduates are consistently strong contributors to our audit teams. Equipped with solid analytical, critical-‐thinking, and writing skills makes them a strong asset from the get go." Meghan Daniels Human Resources Coordinator, Downtown Women’s Center "Recruiting at UCLA has always been an amazing experience. Faculty and students have been nothing but welcoming and enthusiastic about the Downtown Women's Center. UCLA students have shown strong community involvement and I absolutely enjoy engaging such driven staff and students. I look forward to even more years of partnership between myself and UCLA.”
