Additional Comments

"Choosing to walk into the A&S Careers Program office was one of the best decisions I made during my college career. Before doing so, I was learning a lot, experiencing a lot, and I thought I had a pretty good handle on my life. Basically, I was doing everything right, but I soon realized I had to be doing more.

"The A&S Careers Program gave me the know how to take everything that I was doing well, all of my achievements, my education, and my interests and focus them into a lens for the future. Before the program, I wouldn't have been able to tell you what I was going to do after college. Throughout the program I was put into positions of self analysis. I questioned myself constantly about what my goals were, how I wanted to achieve them, and how I was actually going to achieve them.

"Through my education at The A&S Careers Program, I was able to choose an internship that worked out wonderfully. I learned how to open up and market myself to future opportunities. I now feel the ability to not only be excited for the future, but to also be sure that I'll find a way to succeed at every turn. The A&S Careers Program gave me the knowledge and prestige I needed to unearth within myself and the  confidence needed to smash into the world ahead."
