Rowan University was one of the first institutions of higher education to see the value of GettingHired.com's University Partnership program.  Rowan is using the GettingHired.com site to communicate to students, prospective students, alumni and their families the commitment of Rowan University to providing career development tools and identifying internships and employment opportunities for students with disabilities.

Rowan has an enrollment of about 10,000 students from the mid-Atlantic states and 30 foreign countries, and is included in the "Top Tier" of Northern Regional Universities by U.S. News and World Report.  Rowan's Career and Academic Planning Center, working in partnership with its Division of Disability Services within the Academic Success Center, has assembled resources and information specifically to assist students with disabilities prepare for and find employment.  These resources of course prominently include GettingHired.com.  Ruben Britt, Assistant Director of the Center, seeks to utilize every avenue available to promote job opportunities for Rowan's students.  According to Mr. Britt, when he sought to expand the Center's resources for students with disabilities, he concluded that GettingHired.com "covered all the bases," providing not only access to job opportunities, but also a network of support and career development tools for his students.
