Paving the Road to a Future in Finance Spearheaded by Jay Allen ’86, the Career Center and over 125 alumni and Colby parents, working in finance, partnered to offer a networking and informational program to 63 students. The third annual “Paving the Road to a Future in Finance” event was a day-long, alumni-driven event held on October 14th at Fidelity’s World Trade Center offices in Boston. The day started with a welcome from co-hosts Jay Allen ‘86, a managing director at Credit Suisse, and Stephen Langlois ‘85, a Senior Vice President at Fidelity Institutional. This was followed by employer-based panels from, Fidelity and Credit Suisse. Q Pelk, a 2016 parent, from Cambridge Associates gave an overview of the industry. The lunch session, led by alumni hosts at each table, focused on “How to Land Your First Job in Financial Services.” Additional sessions occurred prior to the one-on-one speed interviews, and included a panel on Alternative Investments as well as a “Young Alumni” panel. Then there was a pep-talk from Ben Thorndike ’79 that overviewed networking and dress-to-impress. After this, students participated in three one-on-one speed interviews before transitioning to our networking reception that evening.

Colby on the Road The Colby on the Road program is a yearly event that provides an opportunity for students to explore different industries and identify career interests through employer site visits and networking events in different fields. In October 2014, Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin (CBB) PreLaw Advisors collaborated with the Admissions Office at Maine Law for a second year on a now-annual event for students. The 2014 CBB Day at Maine Law offered a mock law class, tours of the law school, a law student panel made up of CBB students, an Admissions Panel with officers from Maine Law, Boston University, and the University of California Irvine, and a networking reception with CBB alums who are Maine Law students or recent graduates. Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin (CBB) Health Professions Advisors collaborated with the Admissions Office at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine to bring students to the medical school for an afternoon of events that included a sample lecture/demonstration class (taught by a Colby alum who is a UNECOM faculty member and another alum who spent last year on a teaching fellowship at UNECOM). Other activities included a panel of current students, comments by the Dean of the Medical School, and tours of the school. We will explore offering this event again, but may alternate with the Tufts Maine Track, UNE Dental School, or other locations. Colby on the Road – New York City A new program for 2015 brought 44 students to New York City at the end of the JanPlan term. This group was split among two industries, finance and communications & publishing. 19 students on the finance track visited four financial institutions: UBS, Barclays, Morgan Stanely and Angelo Gordon & Co. This involved meeting with 26 alums and professionals in the industry. The event was funded in part with alumni donations which allowed students to stay overnight in midtown Manhattan and experience a full day in the city. The other half included 25 students visiting companies in communications, media, publishing and more. This included visits to Edelman, a global PR firm, Fox News, and Meredith Corporation. At the latter, an alum/parent panel included representatives from Hearst, Conde Nast, MLB Networks, iHeartMedia, The Blaze and Sony Entertainment. International Student Programing The Career Center has developed the following workshops for our International students and have established a strong working relationship with Susan McDougal, Associate Dean of Students for International Students. Career services provided by the Career Center focused towards International Students: Learn how to navigate Going Global, Career Link, LACN, and other resources focused specifically towards I.S. students. Cultural Awareness of American Employment: This workshop focuses on developing a resume that highlights International students’ strengths, interviewing basics, and how to network. *Ability to articulate their Visa status to employer. LinkedIn for International Students: With over 200 million people on LinkedIn and most of them in professional positions, learn what LinkedIn is and how to use LinkedIn for job searching and networking with Colby Alumni. Legal Topics Regarding Internships, Employment and Residency in the U.S.: Learn the difference between OPT, CPT, H-1B Visa, and employment – based immigrant visa process and legal nuances. 1st year students receive introduction to this at their International student orientation. STEM & Cap Gap explained. (STEM majors eligible for a 17 month extension of their OPT) Cap Gap is the extension to your OPT to the H-1B start date.

Graduate Outcomes EMPLOYER RELATIONS The Career Center actively coaches students for success in a highly competitive job market and provides them with a variety of resources to help them realize their post-graduate goals. Students are encouraged to utilize our extensive online offerings while also meeting one-on-one with staff advisors and taking advantage of workshops and specialized programming, including alumni panels, guest speakers focused on specific topics of interest, as well as networking events and immersion programs. Based on data collected throughout the year and in the Class of 2015 Senior Survey, 45% of seniors have, to date, accepted offers of employment. The Career Center offers four recruiting opportunities to students and employers including on-campus recruiting, consortia events, remote conferencing, and a job posting board; students also have access to aggregated job search sites—both general and industry-specific—and a growing list of leadership development programs. According to the Class of 2015 Senior Survey, graduates were once again employed across a variety of industries and fields, including science and social research, government, non-profit administration, technology, teaching and educational services, marketing and communications, finance/banking, insurance, consulting, and the performing arts to name a few. 2014-2015 Employers List Appendix A

Employer Advisory Board For the second year in a row, the Career Center has utilized an Employer Advisory Board (EAB) to inform its programming in this area. In short, the EAB primarily helps the Career Center understand how we can best assist employers with their recruitment efforts and building a strong brand presence and connection with students, as well as help our Career Center ensure that Colby talent has the skills and attributes needed to succeed in today’s workplace. The Employer Advisory Board meets twice per year by phone or virtual technology and consists of professionals, typically Colby alumni and parents, from a variety of organizations and industries, with no more than eight (8) members serving at a time. This year, there were seven Colby alumni and one Colby parent serving on the EAB. Recruiting: New Relationships & Results During this year’s recruiting cycle, the Colby Career Center developed new relationships with NERA Economic Consulting, Venture for America, EverQuote, Acquia, FoodCorps, EF Education First, and Iora Health—to name a few; and developed special partnerships with Citi, Koru, and AllTech TEAM. The Career Center also continued to strengthen existing relationships with employers of all types—corporate and non-profit alike— that resulted in return visits including from the U.S. Department of State and the CIA. Recruiting partners were rewarded as never before; Citi captured five full-time employees; Morgan Stanley and Success Academy Charter School in NYC hired three, while Goldman Sachs, iModerate, and Dana-Farber Research Institute of Boston all had multiple hires. Perhaps the greatest success for the Career Center and Colby’s students was with Teach for America where 10 Colby grads will be working as Corps members throughout the country. See Appendices A for complete reporting. Recruiting: Consortia/Virtual The Career Center continues to collaborate with its colleagues at Bates and Bowdoin (via our “CBB” cooperative) in order to attract employers to Maine, and to participate in consortia like the Liberal Arts Career Network (LACN) and the Liberal Arts Recruiting Connection (LARC) in order to increase opportunities for students. The Career Center also views utilizing technology as a welcome alternative to the possibility of eliminating Colby from recruiting processes altogether due the increased expense of traveling to Waterville. Employers continue to utilize electronic media to overcome geographic barriers, to expand their reach to a variety of schools, and to manage costs. Specifically, many employers now host their own informational webinars, which we promote, and are increasingly relying on telephone and/or Skype to conduct screening or first-round interviews prior to inviting students on-site. In addition, the Career Center hosted three (3) virtual employer information sessions via WebEx.

11

Recruiting: Employer Information Sessions Formal information sessions, whether on-campus or virtual, continue to be recruiters’ primary means of increasing their organization’s brand presence on campus. In addition to the traditional evening sessions, many organizations have begun to experiment with the time of day sessions are offered (i.e. lunch, late afternoon receptions, etc.), with the formality of the sessions (e.g. come as you are, come when you can, etc.), as well as the type of sessions (e.g. informal networking, office hours, presentations to specific student clubs, etc.) This past year, employers hosted 65 information sessions, with 772 students in attendance based on formal RSVP lists. As you can see from the list below, sessions were spread amongst employers—including corporate, social, and government entities—and industries.

Graduate School GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL Approximately three quarters of Colby students will go on to earn a graduate degree. In the Career Center students learn about the various graduate school admission tests (GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, etc.) and the process of applying to graduate or professional schools. Students are encouraged to make an appointment with a Career Center staff member as early as possible to talk about graduate school plans. The Career Center strongly encourages students to work closely with faculty in the discipline in which they want to pursue further study. Advising for programs in the health professions and law is based in the Career Center.

The number of Colby applicants to law school has dropped by 2/3 since 2010, though this is not a surprise given that national law school applicant numbers for 2015 admission were predicted to be the lowest in 15 years. The positive outcome of these numbers is pressure on law schools to look for ways to make their programs more affordable and innovative in training future lawyers. Most Colby applicants to law school are alumni; advising continues to be available to all applicants.

Fellowship Advising The Career Center serves as the gateway to fellowships that require institutional endorsements. These 18 fellowships have faculty advisors who specialize in their respective areas and work with students through the application process. When appropriate, the fellowships advisor within the Career Center, Career Counselor Sarah Whitfield, provides advice and feedback on applications and assists with interview and networking preparation. This year the Career Center and the Dean of Faculty’s office sponsored the fourth annual Evening of Fellowships, an event that introduced the various fellowship options requiring institutional endorsement and application services provided by the college. The event was attended by more than 70 students and a number of the faculty advisors were present. The event was open to all students and targeted invitations were sent to Presidential Scholars, as well as students identified by professors as potential candidates. We also hosted an informational event for Presidential Scholars in the fall. Additionally, the fellowships advisor attended numerous information sessions hosted by faculty and observed the Watson interview process. This summer, the fellowships advisor and the Dean of Faculty’s office made a concerted effort to produce a comprehensive plan for fellowships outreach and support in the coming academic year which includes outreach to previous winners, working with faculty to identify students early, and increased application and interview preparation support. Colby students and alumni were winners or finalists for the following fellowships: Fulbright Grant (two winners) National Science Foundation (two winners) Davis Projects for Peace (two winners) Thomas J. Watson Fellowship (one winner) Gates Cambridge Scholarship (one winner) Rhodes Scholarship (one finalist) Marshall Scholarship (one finalist)

Colby Connect MEMBERSHIP Colby Connect is a four-year curriculum built upon a pragmatic developmentally appropriate sequence of workshops, information sessions, and collaborative programming. Colby Connect embraces students and connects them to internships, job shadowing, Jan Plan and employment opportunities, graduate studies, and fellowships. Colby Connect also integrates Career Center programming with alumni, parents, faculty, and recruiters. Each of the four years offers a unique set of three to four primary workshops that students are expected to complete before advancing through the program. The workshops’ foci (self-assessment, career exploration, and communication competence) are essential life skills necessary for individual, academic, and professional development. The Colby Connect four-year curriculum grew and expanded during 2014-15. In fact, the Career Center added 238 new first-year members to Colby Connect increasing overall membership of current students to 1,072 as of June 30, 2015. A total of 66 Colby Connect workshops were completed in 2014-2015 with impressive student satisfaction.

*The Colby Connect Program began during Jan Plan 2009 and the class of 2010 was not included

Programming & Partnerships LINKEDIN: COLBY PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING GROUP LinkedIn continues to be a key resource for connecting alumni, parents, students, and Colby faculty and staff in professional exchange. This year, the Career Center and Alumni Relations collaborated on making some strategic changes to their respective LinkedIn groups. Firstly, the Career Center’s Colby Alumni & Friends and the Colby College Alumni Association LinkedIn groups were merged into a rebranded and renamed group called the Colby Professional Networking Group; as of May 2015, the group had over 6,300+ members. Both departments agreed that the name change better reflects the goal and mission of the resource. Secondly, the subgroups, or affinity groups, that were associated with the former Colby Alumni & Friends account were collapsed, with members of each group invited to join the main group if they hadn’t already. The Career Center and Alumni Relations decided upon this transition in order to facilitate more productive connections within the community and to provide a stronger channel for the sharing of news, career advice, and job/internship opportunities. Through consistent messaging, our LinkedIn membership was informed of all updates. The Career Center and Alumni Relations now also share administrative duties for the new LinkedIn group. Alumni Relations now approves alumni “requests to join,” while the Career Center continues to focus on student requests. This spring, the Career Center’s Career Development Advisors (student workers) were trained to review and approve student “requests to join.” Current students requesting to join the Colby Professional Networking Group must have profiles that meet the Career Center rubric’s minimum standard for a professional profile. PreMed Academy The PreMed Academy has enjoyed 5 successful years of providing premed students with a significant clinical experience to demonstrate their commitment to and realistic understanding of the challenges of a career in medicine. In 2015, 15 students spent 80+ hours with MaineGeneral physicians at the new Alfond Center for Health in Augusta and various practice offices in Waterville and Augusta. In addition to shadowing, each student identifies a project with their supervising physician and presents a poster at a reception at the end of the month. Students also attend weekly class meetings to discuss assigned readings and experiences. 76 students have participated in the PreMed Academy thus far. Some post-Colby destination information is available: Currently attending medical or dental (1) school: 25 Currently applying to attend medical school in 2016: 12 Pursuing PhD: 4 (including one rising senior) Attending or plan to pursue PA or nursing programs: 11 Pursuing other directions (MHA degree or health-related business): 3 Still deciding or not yet ready to apply*: 21 *PMA participation is generally limited to select juniors and seniors. Since most premed students take 1-2 years to do research or other work between Colby and medical school, outcomes regarding further education for many participants will not be clearly identified for several years after the PMA experience. WebEx Panels Since January of 2014 the Career Center has been using WebEx webinar software to connect students with alumni virtually on a variety of topics and in collaboration with several academic departments: Law Careers (co-sponsored with the Government Dept. and moderated by Trustee Moses Silverman ’69) Consulting Prep Pre-Med Gap Year Science Research Job Search

Medical School Students How an Executive Search Firm Can Help You Land a Job International Alumni Career Paths in Mathematics (co-sponsored with the Mathematics Dept.) Careers in Sustainability and Wind Energy (co-sponsored with the Environmental Studies Dept.) Kassman Leadership Fund The fund was established to support leadership programming and initiatives in the Career Center and in particular to enhance two current programs, Colby Connect and the Entrepreneurial Alliance (EA). Funds were used to support the Colby Connect kick-off for first year students. To date, 238 freshmen signed up to participate in the program. In addition, support was provided for the fifth annual Spring Business Competition, the highlight of the EA program on April 25. See below for details on the EA competition. Funds also used to support two career leadership speakers, Jocelyn Giangrande and David DeLong both Colby Alumni and the Leadershape Program with Campus Life. CDA Program Our student workers, known as Career Development Advisors, took on greater responsibilities this year in a transition year to a new program. Previously, CDAs had largely provided administrative support, conducted resume reviews, and occasionally assisted with employer information session coverage. This year, CDAs were all over campus fulfilling multiple roles. Nine students were divided into two specific groups of CDAs, marketing and programming. Marketing CDAs focused on a reinvention of the weekly newsletter using MailChimp, updated all marketing platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Pulver bulletin board, Pulver banner, and General Announcements), and provided brainstorming for multiple marketing outreach. Programming CDAs staffed the majority of employers information sessions, reviewed resumes on a regular basis (including during Resumanias), taught two different courses in the Colby Connect series, reviewed LinkedIn profiles, and staffed many events. CDAs were effective ambassadors for the Center and we received feedback both from CDAs and from other students that the CDAs provided a positive image for the Center being out and about on campus. All CDAs also heavily participated in the new Career Center Week (hosted once each semester) which featured Resumanias, LinkedIn photo booths, mocktail parties, alumni speakers, and giveaways in Pulver. Additionally, programming CDAs staffed a new event called “Rehab Your Resume” which brought resumes reviews to the Athletic Center, just outside the training room, during the heaviest practice and game times. For the 2015-16 academic year there will be a number of changes to the program. The most important of these will be the change in structure to not only programming and marketing specific CDAs but a third category for partnerships. The primary duty of partnerships CDAs will be to outreach to student clubs and organizations as well as academic departments to open lines of communication and create ways to partner with the various groups. A new marketing plan for the Center as a whole will also involve heavy participation from all CDAs. Finally, CDAs will be more accountable for their work in terms of reporting and will be required to take Lynda.com classes in specific skill areas to add to their repertoire. Women at Work Mealtime Seminar Series This spring, with a $1500 grant from the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement, we conducted a mealtime seminar series entitled “Women at Work: Fostering Confidence and Preparing for Success.” The goal of the seminar series was examine the anxieties and pressures of the modern working woman and how to build confidence as young women entering the workforce. The series included the following events: a discussion of the definitions of feminism, a discussion of the Confidence Gap, a discussion of workplace stereotypes, a workshop on negotiation, attendance at the Mitchell Lecture and dinner featuring Senator Susan Collins, a screening of the documentary Miss Representation, a mocktail party to practice networking skills, and a golf lesson at the Waterville Country Club. A total of 26 women, representing all class years participated in at least one of the discussions or events. Due to unexpected events, an alumni panel had to be cancelled but the women were connected with the alums via email. Feedback from the series was overwhelmingly positive and the partnership continues to be expanded with the Goldfarb Center to provide a full slate of events and workshops under the title of the Women at Work Leadership Series.

The Entrepreneurial Alliance (EA) The Career Center created the Entrepreneurial Alliance, which celebrated its fifth anniversary this year, because student entrepreneurs were coming to the Center looking for resources and help with their entrepreneurial endeavors. The Career Center believes that an effective entrepreneurship program should benefit all Colby students, regardless of major, class year, or career path, and that the liberal arts and entrepreneurship are often perfect complements. Key Program Details During Jan Plan 2015, Colby offered a new course titled Introduction to Entrepreneurship, JP297B. In it, students learned the process of developing new venture opportunities from idea through market launch and subsequent growth. This course replaced previous workshops offered through the Career Center. The Career Center continues to sponsor the annual EA Spring Business Competition. New this year, the Career Center launched a mentorship program for students participating in the annual business competition. Student entrepreneurs were matched with mentors in early March in order to have two months of professional feedback and preparation for the event. Program Advisory Committee The Entrepreneurial Alliance is guided and supported by an Advisory Committee currently consisting of three alumni, two parents, and a faculty member. This year, the Advisory Committee offered their feedback on new program components, provided guidance to student entrepreneurs through the review of initial executive summaries submitted, and helped to organize the annual business competition, while several members played special parts in honor of the program’s fifth anniversary. Spring 2015 Business Competition Overview Colby students wanting to participate in the annual spring business competition must attend an informational meeting in the fall and/or participate in the Jan Plan course, as well as submit an Executive Summary in early February prior to the event. The EA Spring Business Competition awards $15,000 in startup capital to the most promising enterprise or enterprises—for profit or nonprofit. This year, student entrepreneurs were evaluated on their pitch, Q&A responses, and overall readiness to launch their business. The competition spanned two hours, including introductions, a keynote address by an alumnus co-founder, as well as updates from two past winners on the evolution of their enterprises. Spring 2015 Business Competition Winners Six (6) entrepreneurs pitched their ventures at the fifth annual competition in front of a panel of five judges, consisting of Colby alumni and parents, and a crowded auditorium. The winner of the Spring 2015 Business Competition was Sprowt, which took home the entire $15,000 prize: Sprowt Christopher Abbott ’15 Major: Anthropology; Minors: Environmental Studies and Education Sprowt designs and builds home malting systems for the home brewer. Our automated equipment enables home brewers to craft fresh, superior malt at home, dramatically improving the main ingredient of beer. We strive to help home brewers make better beer and to unlock the potential of craft malt for the larger craft beer industry.
