Students often spend time considering what they would like to pursue during their time in college and how it will help shape their future career. Finding their place academically and occupationally is key to belonging and purpose.
Encourage your student to consider the following questions:
- Do they have a plan in place realistically achieving their goals?
- Are they pursuing a major and a potential career which they are interested in?
- Have they utilize resources on campus, such as Career Services Network, Career events, or Study Abroad Opportunities to help them further explore their interests and skill sets?
- Are there other professional or graduate programs which will help them to pursue their dream career, such as Medical School, Law School, Graduate School, or Professional Certificates?
