University Career Services

Graduating computer science major Dhyeya “Dee” Padhya worked in the University Career Services office during his time at George Mason and was featured on the cover of this year’s Career Readiness Guide.

Each episode of “The Mason Mechanical Engineer” podcast features an interview with a member of the Mason nation, including staff, faculty, students, alumni, and industry partners. Mechanical engineering chair and professor Leigh McCue co-hosts with Philip Wilkerson, an employer engagement consultant in University Career Services. 

There were many outstanding performers at George Mason University this past academic year, from musicians to actors to athletes. Less celebrated but no less impressive was the virtuoso performance of a determined IT major at a job fair, a star turn that commanded the attention of University Career Services representatives.

Like many of the faculty and staff who work at Mason, Philip Wilkerson started out as a student, first coming to the university to pursue his master’s degree.
