The Career Education Center supports students in all aspects of career development, including guidance in identifying skills, interests, and values as they relate to choice of major and vocation and opportunities to learn about industries and professional pathways. The Career Education Center provides students and alumni with the resources and tools, such as Handshake, to explore and apply to meaningful professional experiences. Students can connect to a variety of internship opportunities and meet with professional staff to discern post-graduate options, including full-time employment, post-graduate volunteer service, and graduate and professional school.
