The Career Café

Where students and professionals come together!

The coffee's always free in our remodeled career library. Career and industry publications are available as well as desktop computers for research and preparation of career materials. Login to the Alumni Database for career advice.

Employers and Professionals – If you are interested in joining us for any of these programs, please fill out our Career Café Form and we will be in contact with you.

 Jobs and Java Days

Representatives of varied and unique occupations spend 2 -3 hours in conversation with students about their career.  It’s a great way to learn what a job entails, what experience and education is required, and how to find a job or internship.  Past participants have included a genetic counselor, public relations professionals, investment bankers, a representative from a cruise line, a historic preservationist, and work abroad programs.

 Career Spotlights

Panel discussions with professionals provide insight to students about career fields. The Career Spotlights are geared toward each of our colleges.  Past programs have included panels on:

  • Event Planning
  • Arts Administration
  • Sports Careers
  • Pharmaceutical Careers
  • Law

 Employer Information Sessions

Representatives make formal presentations about their organizations (many include food!) to assist students in making informed choices and preparing for interviews.
