Review our program objectives

This program has the following objectives:

1. Offer real stories and experiences from experts regarding career fields and cultural differences as they relate to student career success.
2. Attune students of color into career opportunities and services offered by the Career Services Center. 
3. Engage students from majority groups in dialog regarding differences in diverse cultural, social, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
4. Allow representatives from organizations to share career opportunities including internships and full-time jobs with students.

The intended audience is all students with an added appeal to those from particular cultural heritages during specific months. Faculty, administrators, staff, and alumni are also invited to attend.

This monthly program is a collaborative effort between the Career Services Center and the Office of Student Development’s Intercultural Programs.
