Participants conduct informational interviews with the alumni about prospective professional careers. More information is available from the Career Center's program coordinator. These experiences improve skills, provide insights that allow the translation of theory into practice, and improve employment potential. Internships and practicums are field-based experiences required of some majors and may be open to nonmajors as electives. Opportunities should be discussed with an academic adviser or with counselors at the Career Center.
Student organizations provide opportunities to develop interpersonal and organizational skills.
Two hundred student organizations on the university campus serve a variety of interests. Part-time or summer work or volunteer experiences, which provide information about possible careers, are another way of testing career decisions. Information about summer and part-time employment is available from Employment Services, part of the Career Center.
