If you’ve ever been to a “career lab,” the career center’s daily drop-in hours, for a resume check or cover letter review, you’ve definitely encountered our career fellows. Career fellows are Tufts students who are highly trained in peer-to-peer career advising and run our drop-in hours.
Did you know that we now have SMFA career fellows? The SMFA career fellows are BFA students trained in helping SMFA students in particular, and hold drop-in hours out of the Artist Resource Center (B205) at SMFA.
While each fellow talks about some of their personal interest areas, they are trained to help all SMFA students.
