WORKSHOPS

 

   Workshops provide a plethora of pluses!!   In addition to providing information to help you build your personal skills base, some workshops help you assess your personal interests in such a way that career guidance is inevitable.

     Our "What To Do With A Career In . . . ." series is especially helpful to students who have not yet declared a major.  By attending these panel discussions and interacting with alumni holding degrees from various Arts and Sciences departments, students can gain formidable information and insight into career possibilities previously unconsidered.

     Students solidly entrenched in a major also can gain from attending these workshops.  Information acquired at these sessions may help you better appreciate the personal marketing advantages in securing a complementary minor or certificate through another department.  By talking with alums holding degrees specific to your department, you can learn how to best use your academic background to secure that coveted position or to explore completely new avenues in our every-changing, highly technological society.

    So plan to attend as many workshops as possible, as early in your academic career as possible.  Attend both workshops specific to your major and those directed to other fields.  Even when your classroom schedule allows for only a twenty-minute visit, take advantage of that time and attend.  You never can tell what will be discussed during that segment--what wonderful information you can gain!
