Welcome to the Career Center!

The Holistic Education & Career Development Department partners with all students to help them identify, enhance, and accomplish their career development, internship, job search, and educational goals in their transition from college to career. We work where their passion, skills, and the market intersect. We believe it is there that you find a life of meaning and purpose. We believe that work is part of a meaningful life and that having a “good job” and “doing what you love” are not mutually exclusive.

Career Coaches in the Holistic Education & Career Development department assist students in identifying and executing individualized game plans which increase the likelihood that their passions, their skills, and the market will intersect. Learn more about our philosophy.
