We just wanted to show students the resources that they have. The Career Center offers a variety of resources for students such as workshops, counseling and career decision-making.
Students can also look for jobs and internships online.
According to Bob Gomez, assistant director of the Career and Life Planning Center, events like the open house expose the students to the Career Center and what it has to offer. Gomez said that a lot of students think the Career Center only offers jobs online. The open house was really designed to break that myth and teach students what is really there and how to use them. According to Gomez, this particular open house was geared toward the technical majors like Information and Computer Science and Engineering, but students from other schools also attended. Whipple informed students by sending out e-mails and passing out flyers.
