It is our privilege to help alumni find a place of ministry.
We want the excellent training you received at Clarks Summit University to be put into use in the local church, school, para-church organization, mission field or wherever God may direct you.
Campus Nexus Career Services
Visit the Clarks Summit University Employer and Student Portal
We have partnered with Campus Nexus Career Services for a free service to our students, alumni and potential employers. It offers many options when looking for a career or employees.
Once registered, students and alumni will have the ability to upload your resume and search through all the employers that have also registered and posted openings exclusively to Clarks Summit University students and alumni.
Employers, local opportunities, churches, schools, organizations, etc. can also create a profile. Once registered, you have the ability to post your opening or multiple openings. You can then search through the database to find some students or alumni that meet your criteria.
These web-based services are always available, and you have complete control over your account. Getting started is simple. You can begin by visiting https://portal.clarkssummitu.edu/ and clicking on the login drop down menu. Students and alumni will want to select the “Student Portal Homepage” login, and employers can register through the “Employer Portal Homepage” login.
Please contact Career Services with any questions or if you need assistance accessing your account.
