Ned Khatrichettri

In my role as the Assistant Director of Career Services, I work with College of Communication students and alumni so they can navigate their professional journey and make informed decisions about their job prospects. I also manage career development initiatives and work with the Director to help implement strategies designed to increase attendance at various workshops, career fairs, and networking events.

I identify as a first-generation college student, and as an undergrad, I had great mentors who have helped me navigate the collegiate terrain and become professionally situated. I value reciprocity, and this is a big reason I am in the career services field.
