Connecting College and Career
Presented by Kristine Cody, Career Services

The path from college to your career may feel like it’s out far ahead of you as you start your college journey, but the truth is your college experience and career experience are deeply interconnected. If you are strategic in engaging with the right opportunities, the choices you make in college on whether to pursue an internship, participate in a Career Fair or sign up to be mentored by a local employer will have significant impact on how prepared you are to join the workforce. This workshop overviews the multiple ways you can start and engage with your career as a college student.
