Classroom Integration and Workshops
The Career Center collaborates with faculty across campus to bring career development into the classroom. We provide informative and engaging workshops for students, which focus on identity development, self-reflection, meaningful decision-making, and goal-setting, along with traditional career topics (resumes, cover letters, personal statements, job search, etc.). Student organizations can also request presentations and visits from Career Center professionals. Request a presentation here.
