Professional Development Workshops

At the Career Center, we are dedicated to promoting growth in all areas of your personal and professional life, especially for first-generation college graduates. This includes providing resources for financial stability, community involvement, and excelling in your chosen career path.

Leading Yourself

Leadership is often associated with how one manages and guides others, but what if we shift our focus to the leadership we can exercise in our own lives? Rather than focusing on how we lead others, what if we focus on how we lead ourselves?
