New Students - The co-op process can be confusing at first, from choosing whether to co-op or not, to interviewing with employers, to setting up a new life while on assignment.  That's where CSA comes in!  We can assist you with any questions you might have about co-op by providing informational workshops, or by directing you to chat with other co-op students in your discipline, who can answer questions you might have.  Feel free to contact us at any time, we're here to help!

Current Co-op Students - Wouldn't it be great to be able to meet other students who understand life as an "every other semester" resident of Purdue University?  Someone who is sympathetic to the term "4th year student" or "5th year senior"?  What about being able to be active in an organization that knows your busy schedule, and understands that you'd like to participate in a campus organization but feel you can't because you'll only be around for one successive semester?

We at CSA know how you feel, and would like to invite you to join us!  Lifetime membership costs only $10, and allows you to participate in our many activities!  We are always looking for great people to help with planning social activities and discussion panels, and much more!  Stop by the co-op office in CIVL 1259 or send mail to coops@ecn.purdue.edu for more info!

Employers - Whether you've decided to become a co-op employer, or are already a co-op employer looking for ways to improve your program or assist your co-op students while here at Purdue, you've come to the right place!  As current or past co-ops, we can provide insight into how to make your program better, or (in the case of new employers) how to make you're program successful from the start.  We're here as a resource for you, so don't hesitate to contact us for additional information!

As a side note, we are always looking for ways to partner with industry to promote the co-op program through workshops, scholarships, community outreach, and social activities.  If you would like to sponsor our organization and generate awareness of your co-op program, let us know and we can work together to improve the co-op experiences of our students and help your recruiting in the process!
