Services for your Classroom
Don't Cancel that Class
Do you need to be away from your class and cannot find another faculty member to fill in? Career Services can come to the rescue and ensure student motivation and mojo with our "Don't Cancel That Class" program. You can choose from one of our 60-minute engaging and interactive career-enhancing presentations, or we can tailor a career seminar based on your faculty and the needs of your students.
Some popular topics include:
- What to Do With My Degree
- Networking 101
- Optimizing LinkedIn for Career Success
- Job Search Strategies
- Interview Strategies
We ask that you please provide us with as much notice as possible and inform your students that attendance is required as any other regularly scheduled class. Career Services will always do our best to accommodate you, but note that there may be times when we are not able to meet your request due to staff availability.
