Drop-in Hours

We offer 30-minute virtual and in-person drop-in sessions to all current PSU students and alumni (Monday-Thursday, 1-2pm).

Virtual drop-ins via Zoom: Temporarily unavailable. ***We are transitioning to a new drop-in sign in system on 9/22 and 9/23. As soon as the transition is complete, this page will be updated with the new instructions and link.***
In-person drop-ins: Drop-ins are available at the University Career Center from 1-2pm, Monday-Thursday, on the third floor of Fariborz Maseeh Hall (342 FMH). Please call us at (503) 725-4613 to ensure that we have availability before your visit.
No drop-ins are available during Career Week or on Career Fair days.

There is limited availability for drop-ins, and there’s a chance that we won’t be able to serve everyone. Due to the brief nature of drop-ins, we encourage you to prioritize what you’d like to discuss with us. If you require more in-depth assistance, please schedule a 50-minute appointment with one of our career counselors.
