Team

I am an Associate Director and Career Coach with Career Services in the Daniels College of Business.   I coach graduate students and alumni in all areas of career readiness and development to include a new job search, developing branding materials, job search strategies, adapting to various work cultures, thriving amidst organizational change and more.

I bring over 35 years of experience working for Fortune 500 organizations in financial services, healthcare and in the private, non-profit and government sectors.  I successfully led high performing individuals and teams at JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, CU Health and The Colorado Lottery.  I am passionate about helping professionals, and bring a pragmatic approach to the process along with a results-driven style.  I’ve personally demonstrated success by navigating across multiple and diverse career lanes, both unusual and challenging for a career path today.

For fun I enjoy my two dogs (Stella, a Soft-Coated Wheaten, and Luigi, a Lagotto Romagnolo) with daily walks around Wash Park, great fiction and cooking up amazing food at home!

“What do you do for students at your job?”

I motivate and coach each student in a customized and unassuming way. My objective is to equip them with the tools needed to be successful. End goals come first and I use best-proven methods to help them accomplish their goals.

“Who are you? What do you want everyone to know about you? What do you enjoy?”

Being with others, laughing and exercising are some of the things I enjoy. I am an active person who likes sports and holds a strong work ethic.

“Why are the Career Center services meaningful?”

Career & Professional Development makes the overwhelming easy. We offer a customized approach and a person that is willing to help you meet your specific needs and interests.

Susan Goodwin has 14 years of experience in career services and coaches Daniels graduate students in career development including job search strategies, networking, negotiation, resume and cover letter writing and interview preparation. She also creates and facilitates career related workshops and works with companies to promote graduate employment.

Originally from Streator, IL, she also called Florida and Tennessee home before moving to Colorado in 1996. She loves to travel and has been to all 50 states and 32 countries. She has two grown daughters who both reside in the Denver metro area.

I have a MA in Educational Psychology and am passionate about helping alumni discover and develop their true potential. I provide value by leveraging connections and building international programs aimed at skill building and helping alumni find careers of meaning. I most recently worked within academic counseling and community engagement departments at the University of Denver.

In addition to my higher education experience, I have also worked as a recruiter for various Fortune 500 companies. This experience has helped me identify strategies that have helped applicants stand out from their competition and win over the individual or team in charge of hiring decisions. I love helping clients not only find the job and/or career of their dreams, but also to get hired by the company of their choice.

When I’m not working with alumni, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching Alabama football, trying new restaurants, playing tennis and collecting records.

For over 20 years, I have been a part of Career & Professional Development assisting students and alumni find the courage to discover their strengths, interests and directions in their career path. Each person has a unique story to tell and it is my goal to help guide them in discovering what that story is trying to tell them about themselves. Ultimately,  we are here to help them take their education to the next step or steps in their career path. I am compassionate and want students to know that I am listening to their story and their hopes. Excellence drives me and I focus on what I can do to make a difference in a person’s life. Career & Professional Development gives students the support and guidance to translate their education into a career. It is my privilege to help and support students in taking these sometimes difficult, but always exciting next steps.

“The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.”— John Bingham 

“What do you do for students at your job?”

I engage with graduate students to explore career direction, network and seek connections. I also work with students to develop skills such as writing resumes/CV’s and interviewing that will lead to success in the internship and job processes. Listening is one of my core values and I attend to each person in a different and personalized manner.

“Who are you? What do you want everyone to know about you? What do you enjoy?”

During my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and friends, cooking and meeting with my book club. In everything I do, I try to be positive and keep life in perspective.

“Why are the Career Center services meaningful?”

Work is a key component of life and Career & Professional Development has a lot to offer to help you navigate it. There is much that you can gain by interacting with the staff at Career & Professional Development.

“In a quote, what do you say to yourself and students?”

Connect + Communicate + Care

I’ve worked at the University of Denver for 12+ years in the Sturm College of Law, Daniels College of Business, Alumni Relations and for the last four years in Alumni Career & Professional Development. The favorite part of my week is the opportunity to talk with alumni, hear their stories and find ways to help them achieve their professional goals.

I’m a connector and enjoy teaching people how to tap into their networks to form mutually beneficial relationships. DU alumni are an incredibly accomplished group and the DU network is an invaluable asset.

In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, golf, travel and spending time with my husband, two sons and daughter-in-law, three of whom are proud DU alumni.

“What do you do for students in your job?”

I get to spend every day helping students answer the question, “What comes next after DU?” Whether it’s the first position in your chosen field, volunteering, graduate school, or taking some time to figure it all out, I love that I get to share strategies, tools, and ideas to navigate your career journey. I work with undergraduates in the Josef Korbel School of International Studies (majors: International Studies and Public Policy), as well as Pre-Law.

“Why are Career & Professional Development’s services meaningful?”

I believe that what we do in Career & Professional Development is so meaningful because we create the space to think about what’s next, to ask questions like, “What do I want my life to be?” Then we help you with strategizing how to get there. What we do doesn’t just help in the short-term either; you can use these skills throughout your life to get wherever you want to go, even if you change direction later down the road.

“What is a quote you find inspirational?”

“When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.” —Toni Morrison

Favorite Quote/Poem:

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

In my role, I create and execute the strategy surrounding how we connect our employer community to our student population for the best, and most relevant, internship and career opportunities. My team has built our strategy around leveraging our unique, Global Networks, model and expanding on the ideas and principles of a oneDU community. This model and school of thought have enabled me to include voices into our outreach plan that help to better serve our students. By making space for our students, alumni and faculty/staff to provide input into our work we provide something different and more valuable to our students than simple industry trends.

I have a Bachelors degree from Washington State University in Business Administration with a minor in Human Resources and an MBA from the University of San Diego with dual emphases in Corporate Social Responsibility and Finance.

In my free time I like to create art of all types as well as hike, camp and be outdoors.

My favorite quote is: “Be A Rainbow In Somebody Else’s Cloud” – Dr. Maya Angelou

I am originally from Southern California, but am now thrilled to call Colorado home. I have lived in every time zone in the contiguous United States, and am a proud Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Georgia 2009-2011).

I am fortunate to be part of the Employer Relations team at the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver. My team is responsible for building and cultivating relationships with local, national and international employers. I help companies bring their recruiting strategies to life on the University of Denver campus and generate employer engagement with the students of Daniels College of Business as companies recruit them for full-time, part-time, and internship positions. I grew up in Denver and have raised my two daughters here. We enjoy all things outdoors and revel in the beauty of Colorado’s hiking trails, ski slopes and golf courses.

I hold space for students to tell their stories and answer the questions: “Who am I,” “what am I here to do” and “how do I get there”. My end objective is to empower individuals through self-awareness and resource-awareness to move towards their goals. Personally, I am driven to play a part in helping people achieve a meaningful life. I love being in nature and I am especially motivated by activities devoted to personal development including yoga, meditation, and hiking. Our careers define only one part of our identity; and, considering we spend an average of 2,000 hours yearly in our jobs, it is critical to help students and alumni in their pursuit of purposeful lives by teaching them how to plan their careers and leverage their talents and interests.

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which, kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no person could have dreamed would have come their way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” — Goethe

• Hometown: none, but if you ask me, I am proudly from the Desert Southwest. I have lived in some of the world’s hottest places!
• Undergraduate degree: Urban Planning, from Arizona State University. I love “nerding out” on anything city design and planning related!
• I feel energized when I am riding my bike, on an awesome trail: sun out, wind in my hair, and breaking a sweat.
• A piece of career advice I would give my 20-year-old self: Listen to your heart, there is no “one correct way” to reach your goals. Also, what you do matters more than how much you make.
• Something surprising about me is that English is my second language.
• If you want to see me on the dance floor, play anything Latin – I love merengue, salsa, bachata, plena, and even Duranguense music too!
• One of my favorite books that I would recommend is “Orphan Train” by Christina Baker Klein. It is a fictional story based on historically accurate events, and touches on topics of identity, prejudice, social issues, and foster care, all wrapped up in a beautiful story of a very unlikely friendship.

I am a junior at DU currently studying abroad at the University of Glasgow. I grew up in Washington DC, and I loved the snow much I decided to go to school in Colorado. I came in undecided in my major, changed it about two or three times, and am now a very happy Media Studies major and Fine Arts minor. My dream job changes just about every day, but I’d like to think I’d be happy anywhere I end up as long as I can make someone smile. I am hoping to apply for opportunities with AmeriCorps or Teach for America after I graduate and focus on social justice in my career.
