Meet With a Career Counselor

The Center for Career and Life planning assists students with resume advice, identifying and researching careers, graduate school advising, and general career readiness assistance. Students who are also looking to identify and apply for academic internships or who are interested in finding on-campus employment opportunities may meet with Career & Life Planning as well.
