The Center for Career Design and Development is a team of experts who support students' growth beyond the classroom. This resource helps students enhance job-seeking abilities, define professional goals, locate appropriate career opportunities or graduate programs, obtain employer references, and strengthen networking skills. All assistance is specially tailored to the professional and educational goals of each individual student. Students can access these services during drop in hours or by scheduling a one-on-one appointment in person, via Zoom, or by phone.
