You can still make an impact on Butler students!
Career and Professional Success

Our mission is simple: to help Butler students and graduates in their professional development. We support all Bulldogs in their search for internships, jobs, grad school admission, service opportunities, and more, providing guidance as they work toward building fulfilling lives. The Office of Career and Professional Success (CaPS) provides this assistance to all students and graduates—from all colleges, majors, and classes—for free, for life. Thank you for supporting our work!

Featured CaPS Initiatives

Chicago and Detroit Trek Funds
Every year, CaPS partners with Advancement and Alumni Engagement to take up to 30 students to Chicago and Detroit over Fall Break. These treks engage our vibrant alumni communities and introduce our students to these thriving cities through networking receptions, employer site visits, and fun cultural activities. Past participants have landed internships and jobs through the connections made on these treks, which take a lot of coordination and resources. Invest in our students by contributing to these impactful experiences. Here are just some of the ways your gifts can help:

  • $25 covers dinner for a student
  • $150 covers the participation fee for a student
  • $250 covers one night’s hotel stay
  • $2,000 covers one-way charter bus travel for students and staff

This year, gifts to the Detroit Trek will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $2,750.


Unlock these additional fun challenges with your contributions:

25 total gifts to CaPS unlocks the CaPS staff photo booth challenge—our entire staff will attempt to cram into our professional photo booth and take a group photo to celebrate Day of Giving!

50 total gifts to CaPS unleashes Gary the DoG (Day of Giving) dog across campus—the CaPS Senior Director, Gary, will dress up like a dog and roam around campus on Leap Day, February 29 to celebrate Day of Giving (another fantastic photo op)!
