The roadmap project: Our roadmap project
guides students through career development using four phases:

branding, and (4) communicating qualifications. Each phase
requires the student to discover career paths, explore their
interests, conduct informational interviews, job shadow, ask
intelligent questions, and reflect on their passions. The
roadmap project can be completed as part of your curriculum for
your students. Our office is happy to facilitate the phases and
work with your students on their results.

Faculty whose departments allow credit for internships
are encouraged to collaborate with the career center. Career
center staff work with employers on posting their internship.
Faculty meet with students to set learning objectives and
provide evaluation at the end of the internship. If you would
like your department's internship information included in our
internship packet, please contact the career center.
