Center for Career Exploration

Meet a Career Counselor

Any concentration, any class year, any career interest – we are here to help you.

Many students have questions about their career journey, including how to get started and what options may be available. The Center for Career Exploration’s career counselors are experts at helping you make a plan and get started. Students who meet with career counselors feel less stress and more confidence about their career decision making because they are in more control of the process.

  • Connecting your concentrations or interests to possible jobs/careers

Before You Meet with a Counselor...

Begin by Meeting with a Peer Career Advisor (PCA)

PCAs can help you get oriented to all the resources of the career center, and can talk to you about getting started with career exploration from a student perspective. In addition, our highly trained, friendly PCAs are the go-to resource for all resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile support.

Once you meet with a PCA, you will be given full Handshake appointment permission to schedule meetings with career counselors.
