Real Students, Real Stories

This week, HawkTalk features Jackie Carson ’25, student speaker for the School of Liberal Arts:

CSM College Survival Guide

The College Survival Guide is a recurring feature that directs members of the CSM community to free resources and support for whatever challenges they may be facing. At CSM, no hawk has to fly alone.

Whether you’re looking for an on- or off-campus job, a paid internship, or a potential career path, College Central Network is the go-to career posting site for CSM students and alumni. Upload your current resume or create one using a template and start searching for the position that’s right for you. There’s also a video and print library on topics related to getting and keeping the job, such as salary negotiations, attending job and career fairs, and more!

CSM Policy Updates

We’d like to share a few policy updates with the college community. To ensure CSM stays in compliance with regulatory requirements, the following two policies have been updated or implemented:

Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect – All CSM faculty, administrative employees, and staff with job functions that may cause them to encounter minors are required to report suspicion of child abuse to local law enforcement or the department of social services.
Religious Accommodation – This policy has been amended to ensure that students receive the same religious accommodation considerations as employees. The policy outlines the steps employees and students should take if they need space on campus to engage in their religious practices or some other reasonable accommodation.

If you have any questions or concerns about either of these policies, please do not hesitate to reach out to generalcounsel@csmd.edu.
