| About the Career Center
The Career Center exists to help our students make a successful
transition from their undergraduate educational environment to employment
or further educational pursuits. Our programs and services are designed
to increase our students' confidence and provide the necessary skills
and information to succeed in the job or graduate school search.
As a member of the faculty, you play an integral role in the career
development of our students. We have developed this site to provide
you with the resources and tools to enhance your advisees' and students'
learning experience.
We can assist you and your students in the following ways:
• Career-related programming
in your class or for your department
• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
administration and interpretation
• Resources for assisting students with graduate
and professional school selection and application
• Letters
of Recommendation - Faculty Guide (PDF format)
• Internship Assistance
What you should know about us:
• We believe strongly in the value of a liberal arts education.
• Our goal is to help students understand, appreciate, and
communicate the value of their liberal arts education in the workplace.
• We do not express a preference for any major to our students.
• We believe that every major provides a valuable learning
experience and set of skills for our graduates and that the ultimate
"vocational" decision of the student does not rest on
the choice of major.
• We encourage students to fully explore the curriculum
before making career decisions
• We encourage students to choose one major and excel in
that area unless they have a unique and clearly-defined reason
to double-major. Contrary to popular myth, employers are not that
impressed with a double major.
• We believe in the importance of close ties to each department
and strive to support your students with the best possible internship,
graduate school, and employer connections.
