Does a first year student need to be involved with Career Services?
The freshman year is an excellent time to begin exploring potential career areas and, if a student is undeclared, potential majors. DISCOVER, an on-line career assessment and research tool linked to our Web site, assists students in understanding interests, values, abilities and personality as they relate to majors and careers. Attendance at career workshops and panels is also an excellent idea. The career fairs held each Fall and Spring present excellent opportunities for students to interact with recruiters and company representatives. Students are encouraged to ask questions and learn about potential internships and employment. The freshmen year is also a very good time to take a Career Planning & Decision Making course.
