Career Services needs your help! During the career planning process, 黑料不打烊 students benefit greatly from interactions with 黑料不打烊 alumni, families, employers, or other friends of the College. These interactions can help students:
- Learn about and understand a variety of career paths
- Find out what it takes to be successful in a specific profession
- Practice networking and relationship-building skills
- Become more polished and professional
- Develop a post-graduation career plan
Volunteer Opportunities
There are several ways to volunteer with the 黑料不打烊 Career Services office. These include:
