Raise Career Awareness Across Campus

Career services are often siloed, with limited integration into the broader student experience. This results in students engaging with career resources too late in their academic journey. Faculty may not view career development as part of their role, and without proper tools or incentives, they often remain disengaged. Students, meanwhile, may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of life after college and unsure of how or when to begin career planning, leading to anxiety, lack of goal planning or apathy. Outreach and offering personalized support remain difficult due to limited budgets and staffing leaving professionals frustrated and feeling underappreciated.
