Our Story
Campus Tulsa exists to help college students fall in love with Tulsa & launch their careers at area businesses and nonprofits after they graduate.
Campus Tulsa was founded in the fall of 2020 in response to the growing need for bachelor degree holders in Oklahoma. While there are over 67,000 college degree holders within a 50 mile radius of Tulsa, for the workforce to meet Tulsa’s growth trajectory, especially in skilled and niche areas, the city needs to take a systematic approach to attracting and retaining college graduates.
Diversity Matters
Leverage our intentional approach to sourcing diverse intern candidates.
In today’s climate, more and more companies recognize the importance of inclusive teams, and internship programs can be a powerful engine for creating more diversity within your team now and in the future as interns transition to full-time hires.
However, companies often struggle to source diverse candidates using their traditional hiring methods and inroads.
Campus Tulsa intentionally partners with diverse student groups, institutions, and associations to create an inclusive internship search experience, especially among first generation and students of color.
