Bill Stahley (He/Him)
Employer Engagement Coordinator
As the Employer Engagement Coordinator, my goal is to make it easier for local businesses and organizations to connect with VanCougs who are seeking job opportunities, internships, and the information they need to form a solid career plan. This largely happens through the coordination of career fairs, networking events, information sessions, and classroom visits. I also meet with students to help them find jobs that interest them, and to create and improve their resumes and cover letters, so that they are successful in their job search. I truly believe that our region will be a better place as talented VanCougs become talented professionals in our community.
Catharine Keane (she/her)
Student Employment Coordinator
I’m Cath Keane and I’m excited to be your Student Employment Coordinator at WSU Vancouver. As a fellow Coug with a Master’s in Public Affairs from WSU, I’m motivated to help students connect their academic interests with meaningful work experiences.
I work closely with students and campus departments to create opportunities for Work-Study and other student employment. My role involves guiding departments through the hiring process and ensuring our student employment program is accessible and enriching. I aim to provide students with work that complements their studies and prepares them for their future careers.
I also offer career advising and host workshops to help students develop their job search skills, create effective application materials, and build useful networking strategies. I believe that gaining hands-on experience and making connections with employers are advantageous for career success after college.
I’m looking forward to working with everyone to support the student employment program and the career development of every VanCoug!
