Faculty, staff, and campus partners are invited to join us on Zoom on Aug. 13, 2025, at 12 noon to discover what’s new at The Career Center and explore tools you can use in and outside the classroom—guest speakers, resume/cover letter assignments, mock interviews, video content, and more. You’ll also hear about upcoming workshops and events, including the Part-Time Job Fair, JCPenney Suit-Up, Grad & Prof School Fair, and special career readiness programs.
