What Can Students Do...

Contributed by Flecia Thomas, Dean of Student Success

The Department of Career Services is planning a series of thirty minute seminars entitled “What Can I Do with a Major In…?” on Thursday, April 18th from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. and we would love your help!

We would like to invite at least one faculty member per department to be featured as one of two panelists for these seminars. Each seminar would have two faculty speakers who will share their insights for twenty minutes and answer questions for the remaining ten minutes. This will give our students the opportunity to gain insight into careers associated with the majors they are considering. 

 
We hope to showcase a variety of faculty who are working in their chosen majors. During each thirty minute session we would like to have at least two faculty panel members address the following as agenda: 
  • How did you select your major and are you working in a career related to your major? 
  • How much education did you receive in order to attain your current position?
  • What insights can you provide into the job outlook for your major?
  • What information could you provide on other possible careers that one could pursue with your major?

If you are interested in being a featured faculty panelist, please check your e-mail for a message from Laura Power regarding the sign-up process (which is very easy!).

Thank you for your time and have a terrific day!
