Career and Internship Services Center

WE ARE OPEN (VIRTUALLY)!

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, USG buildings will not be open to the public until further notice.

While the campus building will not be open during this time, USG staff are teleworking and providing access to services remotely until on-site facilities are reopened.

Our partner universities that offer programs at USG are preparing for the transition to the delivery of all course instruction through remote/online platforms. Students at USG should be in direct touch with their faculty and program directors from their home universities about their remote/instruction during this time.

USG's Student and Academic (SAS) Centers will be providing students with support services through various remote/online delivery formats. Please see below for information about how to receive these services remotely.
