As the economy becomes a challenge for graduating students in the job market, it is important that students become particularly proactive in their planning for the future. Using this time to think outside of the usual job "box" and look for opportunities they might not have considered before, as well as additional job experiences through internships, can make a difference in whether this is truly an "opportunity" or a "challenge" in a student's life. More than ever
Career Development and the
Internship Program offer
resources and services in the Academic and Career Services Center
