Student Involvement and Career Center

 

Mission

The Student Involvement and Career Center (SICC) is an integral campus resource for career services, leadership development opportunities, major programs, and events.

 

We support SF State students, faculty, and staff by providing leadership opportunities, student organization resources, and event coordination and consultation. We assist in the search process for part-time jobs, internships/co-op programs, and full-time professional employment, and collaborate with employers, faculty, staff, alumni, and student organizations to evaluate, develop and implement self-directed career, education, and employment decisions and plans.

 

The Student Involvement and Career Center facilitates transformative learning and student engagement by developing strong leaders, employees, and conscientious citizens within SF State's diverse community and beyond.
