Opportunities For…
An in-house publication series created by the Career and Internship Center, each document offers six standard career paths for each major, examples of where alumni have gone, useful internship and career websites, academic planning strategies, and a list of faculty members.

Career Counseling and VIPS Search Program
Goal setting begins with self-assessment, and includes the definition of Values, Interests, Personality, and Skills (VIPS). Our VIPS program blends one-on-one appointments with a professional career counselor to define these areas, and may also include taking “Those Career Tests,” or interest and personality inventories. This process can be helpful prior to or after declaring a major. Students will meet with a Career and Internship Center staff member several times, and may take online inventories for interpretation in these appointments.

Career and Internship Center Seminar Series
Offered every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the academic semester, career and internship center counselors cover a variety of topics for students from freshman through graduate students, in all academic majors. A full list of seminars and times is available online. Faculty and staff can also request specific programming for specific student populations here.
