Staff Changes at the CDC
We are excited to announce some recent promotions and additions to the team at the CDC. We welcomed Cathy Tomaso to the office in August as a senior recruiting coordinator. She brings experience in higher education and corporate settings, and will be responsible for assisting companies with general recruiting initiatives, managing all information sessions and other related events, recruiting services with employers, and student advising/workshops. Bailey Rand was promoted to assistant director of employer relations. In this role, she will build on her success in the office in order to supervise recruiting services, be more involved in strategic planning efforts, and focus more on proactive outreach to our employer partners.
