Though first-year students may not think to make their career development a priority, we want them to know it is never too early to start. By starting early and working consistently on their career development, students aren’t stressed finding a job when they graduate; they are stressed because they have to choose which job offer, of many, to accept!

• Utilize Career Services to make the process easy, effective and enjoyable• Meet with a Career Services Advisor for all things career-related• Pursue co-ops or internships - some are available for first-year students
