Career and Professional Development - Residential Life

One of the many benefits of living within our Communities is easy access to our expert consultants and programming specifically developed for career and professional development. Meet our Career and Professional Development Consultants: Laura O'Neill, Jordan Smith and Erin Wise, who work in collaboration with the Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development. They will be working with our residents to help develop resumes and cover letters, explore majors, careers and graduate school options, and find information on jobs and internships. They will have walk-in hours and scheduled appointments conveniently located right in the communities.

Meet Laura O'Neill

Binghamton University and Residential Life are excited to have Laura O'Neill as our own in-residence Career and Professional Development Consultant for the Apartments and Mountainview. Laura's office is located in Susquehanna Community Choconut 102H and at The Career Corner in Hillside Commons, but she is available to meet at other communities as well as the Fleishman Center throughout the week. See her schedule below.

Laura's main goal is providing outreach and career and professional development education to the residential communities. "We know how busy our students are, so we want to make the whole process more convenient and a little less daunting for them. A student's career does not start the day after they graduate from college; it starts their first day of freshman year. We are here to help guide them through their four years. It's not just about helping with job search and grad school prep, but the whole journey such as choosing a major, career exploration, internships, resumes, cover letters, networking, interviewing skills to name a few.

Come meet Laura at one of her walk-in sessions, Career Cafe meetings during the week or schedule an appointment with her through hireBING. See directions for making an appointment below. To make it easier on both traditional and non-traditional students, Laura also has later afternoon and evening hours available.
