By Jenn Cammel and Rebecca Schweitzer While the COVID-19 pandemic has changed so much of college students’ lives, one need remains the same: landing a job after graduation. Toward that end, University of Cincinnati students, working through the Bearcat Promise Career Studio, serve as Peer Career Coaches, mentoring students with advice for building resumés and cover letters, interviewing, navigating career platforms such as LinkedIn and Handshake, and upcoming virtual career fairs. The Bearcat Promise Career Studio, opened in 2019 in UC’s Tangeman University Center, offers full-service job search coaching to students seeking their next step out of college. The center supports UC’s strategic direction Next Lives Here, and its Bearcat Promise that UC students leave college with a degree in one hand, and a career plan in the other. https://www.uc.edu/about/strategic-direction/academic-excellence/bearcat-promise.html With spring semester about a month away, A&S students can take advantage of these services to prepare for upcoming college career events, including Spring Career Fair: Professional Day on Tuesday, Feb. 9, and the A&S Career Fair scheduled for Wednesday, March 31. Here, four Peer Career Coaches from A&S share their experiences and top tips for job searches during COVID and beyond.

By Rebecca Schweitzer On November 3, millions of Americans lined up to cast their votes during a year driven by the pandemic and political unrest. In Cincinnati, polls opened at 7a.m. and reporters were there, ready to cover the historically largest number of votes in a US Presidential Election. 12 Arts and Sciences journalism students had the opportunity to be part of that history, working as correspondents for the Cincinnati Enquirer by covering polls in the Warren, Clermont, and Butler counties. This was the third presidential election that UC students have been able to cover for the Enquirer. During this year, students from Professor Robert Jonason’s News Collaborative class were sent to virtually interview the directors of the Board of Elections in their designated counties (Butler, Clermont, or Warren) prior to the election. Mark Wert of the Cincinnati Enquirer supplied the students with questions and after the interviews, the students wrote stories on the information they gathered. These stories were sent to the Enquirer and the information has since been used in two stories.
