Within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, professional development is internships, international studies, career exploration but also, much, much more. In our judgment Professional Development is a life long journey much the same as learning. As we integrate advising and professional development we seek to address the need for consciousness and awareness of self before grappling with the intellectual and practical decisions needed in selecting a major and a vocation. As our students’ personal development grows so too will their intellect. Advisors will lead discussions about how students make meaning in their lives and how that will lead them to make sound vocational decisions. To help bring that concept to life, students will have numerous occasions to meet and discuss life choices with our alum. Also, for those students who are interested in the Certificate in Professional Development, there will be additional opportunities for self reflection and insight.
