Mission Statement

The Career Services Offices exist to support students seeking to develop their career goals and compete successfully to reach these goals, the employers interested in hiring these students, and the alumni seeking to partner with the offices as potential employers or mentors.

Students. To educate, counsel, and mentor students in helping them utilize their academic training and life experiences to achieve their career potential through assistance in the areas of career planning and decision-making, experiential education, and job searching.

Employers. To proactively partner with employers by providing recruiting services that connect them with students that meet their specific hiring needs.

Alumni. To elicit support from alumni motivated to partner with the Career Services Office to hire our students, educate them about their career fields, and share lessons learned through their own career development process. To encourage alumni to serve as an extremely valuable networking base for students engaged in formulating their career goals and engaged in a job or graduate school search.

In support of these three constituents, we hold the following to be crucial in the delivery of our services:

• Advocacy for students in reaching their academic and career goals

• Appreciation and respect for diversity and individual differences
• Embracing technology to improve services
