Connecting Registered Campus Organizations (RCOs) to the Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD)

Empowering UCSF student leaders to foster career readiness through collaborative programming.

Why Partner with OCPD?

At UCSF, Registered Campus Organizations (RCOs) enrich student life and support interprofessional development. The Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD) collaborates with RCOs to promote high-impact, engaging programming that supports the diverse career goals of UCSF learners in the basic and biomedical sciences as well as social and population sciences.

Partnering with OCPD can help your RCO:

  • Connect members to career pathways in academia, industry, policy, and more
  • Host speakers from UCSF's alums and employer network
  • Promote UCSF's PRIDE values through tailored programming
  • Gain logistical and promotional support from career services staff
