UA Little Rock Welcomes Michelle Marshall as Career Specialist
The University Career Services team at UA Little Rock welcomes Michelle Marshall into the role of career specialist.
Marshall joined UA Little Rock at the end of the spring 2024 semester. She is a two-time UA Little Rock graduate who holds an undergraduate degree in psychology and a graduate degree in higher education.
As the career specialist in University Career Services, Marshall coordinates the University Career Services Internship Program, which provides students the opportunity to gain real-world experience and connect with industry professionals.
Along with organizing career-related events and conducting community outreach, Marshall also assists students and alumni with resumes, job search techniques, and interview preparation. She is currently working on developing a career readiness course for UA Little Rock students.
“During Michelle’s short time at University Career Services, she has demonstrated passion in her counseling with students on professional development and career exploration,” Director of University Career Services Brittany Straw said. “She can organically connect with our students and meet them where they are.”
In July, Marshall was one of 100 participants chosen to attend the National Association of Colleges and Employers Management Leadership Institute cohort.
“It was a phenomenal experience to engage with career services leaders from across the U.S., where we shared our successes, tackled challenges, and found solutions together,” Marshall said. “This collaboration gave us a strong support network to rely on as we returned to our institutions with fresh ideas. Now, as I oversee the University Career Services Internship Program, I’m excited to implement these insights to benefit our students and the broader university community.”
Students can schedule an appointment with Marshall through Handshake. For more information on University Career Services at UA Little Rock, visit the website or email careers@ualr.edu.
