Embracing Opportunity: Join Us at Draft Day

Embracing Opportunity: Join Us at Draft Day

We invite you to join us on August 28 at Seattle University for an unforgettable event that marks a pivotal moment in the academic journey of CRJS students - Draft Day. Scheduled from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at Pigott Auditorium, Draft Day is more than just a ceremony; it's a celebration of partnership and opportunity, where students learn their work-study placements for the upcoming year and have the chance to meet their corporate partners for the first time. We are honored to have Seattle University as the founding sponsor of this event. 

The cornerstone of the educational model at CRJS, the Corporate Work Study (CWS) program, is designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical professional experience. Throughout the academic year, each student dedicates five full days a month to working in various industries including tech, finance, healthcare, and beyond.

This hands-on approach not only offsets a portion of their education costs but also equips students with essential skills and insights that prepare them for success in college and beyond. 

Draft Day serves as a testament to the transformative impact of the CWS program, bringing together students, educators, and corporate leaders in a spirit of collaboration. The event includes a dynamic program at Pigott Auditorium. A reception in the PACCAR Atrium offers a chance for networking and building connections among students, their families, partners, and supporters alike. 

At the heart of the CWS program's success are its dedicated corporate partners, including prominent organizations like Costco, JLL, Expeditors, Providence, Microsoft, PACCAR, Premera, and T-Mobile, alongside many other local, national, and international companies. These partners will not only provide valuable work opportunities but also mentorship and guidance that are invaluable to the students' professional development. 

We extend a warm invitation to all community members, corporate partners, and supporters to join us on August 28. Your presence and support make a tangible difference in empowering CRJS students to achieve their academic goals and build fulfilling careers.

Together, let's celebrate the achievements of our students and continue to foster a community where educational excellence and workforce development thrive. 

Don't miss out on this opportunity to engage with our community and witness firsthand the impact of the CWS program on the lives of our future leaders.
