Career Everywhere 

The Career Development Center (CDC) aims to build a university-wide career readiness culture that prepares all students for success after graduation. This vision is supported by the concept of “Career Everywhere,” which integrates career readiness into every aspect of the student experience. 

“Career Everywhere” addresses the fact that while career success is a top motivator for many students, not all students have equal access to career planning knowledge. It ensures that students from all backgrounds receive guidance and resources throughout their career journey. 

“Career Everywhere” also recognizes that students seek career advice from many sources beyond the CDC, including professors, advisors, coaches, and peers. Therefore, we strive to equip all members of the university community with the knowledge and tools to provide consistent and meaningful career readiness support. 

The Career Center leads this effort by collaborating with campus partners, sharing best practices, identifying resources, and curating content for various settings (classrooms, advising, and professional development), ultimately enhancing access to career planning for every student. 

Submit a request for a member of our staff to come into your classroom, organization, department, or community to deliver high-quality career content to your audience. Topics of presentations or workshops include (but are not limited to): 

  • Career Development Center Overview 
  • Career Readiness 
  • Resumes 
  • Cover Letters 
  • Networking 
  • LinkedIn 
  • Interview Preparation, any many more! 

Bring real-world perspective into your classroom or event by partnering with our office to connect with alumni and employers. We work with professionals across a wide range of industries who are eager to share their career journeys, provide insight, and engage with students through guest speaking, panel participation, and project collaboration. 

Support your students by connecting them with our office for career guidance, job and internship strategies, and opportunities to build meaningful professional connections.
