Workshops
The Career Resource Center hosts several workshop series and independent workshops throughout the academic year to help students pursue their career goals. Attend a workshop or request a specific presentation for your organization or student group.
College of Liberal Arts & Science Workshops
If you are in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, attend CLAS Workshops to explore your career options and get resources to help you in your search for a career you can be passionate about. This series of workshops will help you to “think outside the box” about what careers or majors you are interested in. As the workshop titles suggest, they are based on things you are passionate about rather than your major.
