This complement to your academic transcript can give you an extra boost when applying for jobs and graduate school. WarriorLink \u2013 the one-stop location for involvement, leadership and networking \u2013 will power the program. WarriorLink can be accessed at esu.collegiatelink.net<\/a> (please note there is no \u201cwww\u201d). This powerful new tool will allow student organizations to better connect with new and existing members and be the basis for the Co-Curricular Transcript program.
