About the Career Center

We're here to help students find and start meaningful careers.

The Career Center’s role is primarily educational. Individuals learn career-planning and job-search techniques that they will use not only during college and immediately after graduation, but throughout their careers.

Career Center staff members help students locate resources and develop career management skills. Students who use the Career Center's services enhance their career awareness and job-search skills. Early career planning equals career success.
