The University Career Center won $1,000 for its pregame basketball show, “Center Court,” from the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
The UCC won the Chevron Award for “Center Court,” which premiered in January. The accolade included a plaque to be presented at the association’s national conference and a feature article in its online journal.
“I am very proud of all the work the staff did to make sure students know the career center is on campus,” UCC director David Gaston said.
“Center Court” — a partnership among the UCC, KU Athletics and Jayhawk Sports Marketing — featured videos modeled after the “Jaywalking” segment on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Following the videos, an emcee led students in a series of games and events. The UCC saw increases in traffic to its Web site, KUCareerHawk.com, scheduled appointments and participation in networking events compared with the past year.
“It was very fun,” Gaston said. “It helped students pass time before games and to let people know we’re there to help them when they’re ready.”
The Chevron Award recognizes a college career center for a groundbreaking development in the field.
