As most Penn students know, Career Services uses email listservs to relay lots of information to our students. We have lists for each undergraduate class year by school, so, for example, Wharton juniors get a specialized e-newsletter focused just on them each Friday. (That being said, please know that we don’t send a lot of information to first-semester freshmen, as we know that acclimating to Penn in both an academic and social sense is your first priority upon arriving on campus!). We also have special listservs for students interested in graduate programs for health professions, law school, and other graduate schools. Click here to find out how to sign up for those.
In addition to these lists, however, we have a variety of specialized lists for students interested in international opportunities, common good careers (nonprofit and government), creative careers, and a new listserv to relay career related information for students with disabilities. These are “opt in” lists, so if you are interested in joining them you can follow the instructions below to be added.
International Careers Listserv
The International Careers listserv was created by Career Services as an open forum where the Penn community (staff, faculty, students, etc.) can share information about events, opportunities and resources related to international careers.
To subscribe to the International Careers listserv, send an email from your Penn email account (NOT from a GMAIL or another account connected to your Penn account) to: listserv@lists.upenn.edu
with this command in the body of the e-mail: SUBscribe InternationalCareers
Common Good Careers Listserv
The Common Good Careers listserv was created by Career Services as an open forum where the Penn community (staff, faculty, students, etc.) can share information about events, opportunities and resources related to nonprofit, government, policy, public interest and other common good related careers.
To subscribe to Common Good Careers listserv, send an email from your Penn account (NOT from a GMAIL or another account connected to your Penn account) to: listserv@lists.upenn.edu

Creative Careers Listserv
The Creative Careers listserv was created by Career Services as an open forum where the Penn community (staff, faculty, students, etc.) can share information about events, opportunities and resources related to creative careers.
To subscribe to the Creative Careers listserv, send an email from your Penn account (NOT from a Gmail or another count connected to your Penn account) to: listserv@lists.upenn.edu
with this command in the body of the e-mail: SUBscribe CreativeCareers
Career Services Listserv for Students with Disabilities
The Penn Career Services office occasionally receives information about positions and career opportunities from employers particularly interested in connecting with students with disabilities. (This is typically part of their diversity outreach efforts.) This listserv was set up as a channel to more effectively reach these students. All students who consider themselves to have a disability are welcome to be included on the list. If interested in being included on the listserv, please email Barbara Hewitt (hewittb@upenn.edu), Senior Associate Director of Career Services, your Penn email. Note that the listserv members will remain confidential and only the list owner will be able to view who is on it.
