Testimonial

When I applied for the Career Assistant position I knew that I would be gaining great leadership and professional experience, but I had no idea that it would make such a huge impact in my success through college. The Career Assistant position allowed me to develop transferable skills that helped me succeed both in the classroom and during my internship. It challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things that I never would have imagined myself doing when first entering college.

I was able to conquer my fear of public speaking and now look forward to giving career related presentations to my peers. The endless opportunities, network of career advisors, and unlimited access to valuable career information helped me to stay focused on my goals and make the most of my college experience.
