Career development is fundamentally a lifelong process geared toward the acquisition of skills which will strengthen students’ ability to live meaningful, enjoyable, and economically rewarding lives. Career development guarantees to every individual the opportunity to discover, determine, and develop his/her way of life. To this end, the Career Planning and Placement Center seeks to serve all students registered with the Center, the ultimate goal being employment.

Career counseling is important during the student’s entire college career. When started early in the freshman year, final decisions as to a career are much easier to make and more satisfying. Seniors are urged to submit a resume and three letters of reference prior to November in the year of graduation. Resumes and references are needed for prospective employers and for graduate schools. The Career Development Center maintains personnel records on graduates so that employment information may be sent to a prospective employer or graduate school at any time at the request of the student, alumni, faculty member, or employer. Registration with the Career Development Center is required for freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
