Hello I'm Paula Dollarhide. Welcome to
another in our series of devising
brown-bag colloquia. Today we have a
panel presenting what career communities
can do for you. Pat Donahue and Dana DeFiore
from Career Center are here along
with Tara Marsh, Internship Coordinator
for the Hospitality and Tourism
Management Studies Major and Peg Slusser
who is Associate Professor of Health Science
We welcome today the set of
panelists and their insights into how we
can address student careers after
leaving stockton.
So goals for today
learning outcomes if you will. We are
attempting to share with you what career
communities are. They have been a model
in the Career Center for the... we're now
in our second year, but it it has been
playing out in certain ways that we hope
will become more concrete and make more
sense to you and the synergies of them
and the specific communities that we
have here at Stockton, so that you are
familiar with them regardless of the
students that you work with or advise
The synergies of a focus on their
careers not their majors. I think we all
understand this principle, but it helps
to see how that plays out in the world
of career exploration and then examples
of successful collaborations between
career advisors and faculty in bringing
students into these communities and
helping them engage actively. So this is
a poster which is collectively all of
our different Career Communities. So we
have Public and Social Services that
includes Government. It includes non
not-for-profits social services and
again coming under the many different
majors, but aiming at not where they are
what major they are in but what
career they are interested in. Now the
category is Law and Politics, certainly
an area that bridges many many majors at Stockton
Science Technology Engineering and Math
We have Arts, Entertainment, and
Communication. Education, Business, and
Hospitality and Tourism and Health
Sciences and Medicine. So these and we
also have one that is working with
undecided students, undeclared students
So just to give you an example of how
this, the Career Community Idea works, for
example in Law and Politics, we know that
there is I believe there's a
concentration in the Political Science
area for Pre-law, however our career
advisor in this area, Patrick Burns also
says that the majority of our Pre-law
students come from the Arts and
Humanities: The School of Arts and
Humanities. They are sprinkled throughout
the campus but they are not maybe
typically where you would find them and
therefore we have this particular career
community has the synergy of embracing
the students interest regardless of what
school they are in. Another example would
be the area that I work with Health
Sciences and Medicine. Yes the vast
majority of students are working within
the Health Sciences, these are our
students who are going on to Grad
Schools for Occupational Therapy
Physical Therapy, some of the Allied
Health Professions, but there are also
students in the sciences who are going
into medicine who are going into
Physical Therapy. Also there are students
in other majors throughout the campus
who are going into medicine there are no...
there are prereqs, but there are no
requirements for where they might be
housed in the school. So these are
examples of communities that are broadly based
We have taken this model
...this is a growing trend I would say
in the field of Career Advising there
are schools like Stanford, UVA, Rutgers
who have gone to this model. We have
taken a look and said this makes sense
to us and certainly those of you who
advise students this also, this model
should make sense to you. So how do they
find us? How do they join a career
community? One of the ways that we
capture them is through the Career Center
every time someone comes in for an appointment or
they just zip in today. We had drop ins
this morning. They register on Stockton Works
They now become part of a of a
system database where we can talk to
them they also self-identify as to a
career community. They can choose any of
them. They can choose all of them. Some
students do, but that it is their call
which community they would like to place
themselves in and they're also through
faculty interaction which is why we have
two of our very good partners with us
today to talk about how that interaction
functions, the different ways that
we work with them to make students aware
of these career communities and through
clubs and campus events. Again those
clubs represent the interests many times
more specifically. They reflect the
career communities that the students are
working within. So if you are working
with a student, again they're going to
they're going to encounter the
career community model when they come in
to see us, but if you go to the careers
www.stockton.edu/careers, you will come to this
page and you will see the Stockton
Works icon up there on the right and
we'll talk about that in a minute and
you will see the join a career community
also, so all students have to
do is click on that. It's one
click one link gets them there one click
will get them to Career Communities or
to Stockton Works. So I hope that many of
you are familiar with Stockton Works
That is a very robust system that we
have. It is a database that includes
employers, jobs, internships, events like
the career fairs that we... career and
internship fairs we do twice a year
If you can see by the toolbar up there the
blue toolbar, employer directory, job search
career events, and mentors as well
as things the everyday tools of the
Career Center that includes resume templates
how to do a cover letter
how to practice for interviewing. So students
can can find Stockton Works on their own
It is available to them 24/7, but certainly
when they interact with us, we place them
in here and I know as the career advisors we
also drive activities that get students
to want to sign up for Stockton Works
for their own reasons and when they do
click on a Join A Community, here's
what they get. Major does not equal
career and they can see each of them is
you clicked on these there will be a
description of them and also why join a
career community? What's the point? So
they can even find this on their own
taking advantage of specialized services
programs events customized to meet your
specific career development needs and my
colleague Dana and I will be talking
more about our own roles as career
advisors and how this model of the
career community has changed how we work
with students. So that said Dana and Tara
will talk about their experiences
I'm just a little bit more of an
introduction. I am the advisor for the
Business Hospitality and Tourism Career Community
So in some of the ways that
we're going to talk about how we partner
together. I do want to say that there are
other things that I'm doing in terms of
connecting with clubs and organization
as an advisor and also acting as a
preceptor to first and second year
students who are interested in majoring
in Business and I've been with the
institution for almost ten years and I'm
really enjoying working more in a
specialized roll with this population.
Hi, I'm Tara Marsh
and I am a Hospitality and Tourism Internship Coordinator
for the Hospitality Program
which falls under the School of Business
If you're not familiar with it, I'm
actually an undergrad of Stockton as
well as have my graduate degree from the
University, but I come back in a role
that was developed a year ago to help
the students, excuse me with their
required internship for the program
helping them with their placement. So I
work very closely with Dana when it
comes to looking at opportunities for
students in what they can do and so
we're just going to outline some of the
ways that we've been able to partner
over the last year or so. Okay so checks
and balances and I'm going to talk a little
bit about this. If you're not familiar
with our program. For hospitality
they're required to have two different
work experience components not only the
internship itself, but we have a
professional work experience component
where it's a zero credit, but they're
required to do 400 hours in the industry
This is something they could bring in if
they're just starting that they might
have done when they were in high school
an experience that they talk with their
preceptor about to see if it's an
acceptable experience and it also may be
something that they do while they're in
their first or second year, so Freshman,
Sophomore year maybe while they're
taking classes or even during the summer
and working in the industry. So we want
to make sure they're getting that
exposure to the industry. So again
they're required to do 400 hours and
then they're required to do a three to
five page reflection paper, but the
biggest component that ties us back to
the Career Center and to Dana
specifically that we work with, and our
faculty preceptors do, is they require
them to get their resume checked over by
the Career Center, approved and uploaded
into a Stockton Works account for them so
that ties into our professional work
experience which then ultimately helps
them when it gets to their internship
for the program
So Tara and I like to consider ourselves
one-stop shop whether they're meeting us
in the Career Center or whether they're
meeting in Tara's office. So that means
one hundred percent shared information
and really developing an expertise in
each of our areas. So I've really taken
the time to understand the curriculum
sequence that Tara just talked about
this wave of new students coming into my
office, I can speak to them a little bit
more about the whole process and not
just siloed in the career aspect of
things Tara at the same time has really
taken on understanding all the functions
of the Career Center, all the programs
that we can offer students, and she is
messaging in the same way that I would
message to students. These are the steps
on how to start writing a resume or how
to start thinking about your job search
This way we feel like we're creating and
communicating a cohesive message to
students in both of our areas and really
sharing like we said that information.
So we also like to say in terms of this one-stop shop and shared information that we centralize
all the knowledge that we have
So anytime one of us is working with say an employer who's interested in recruiting candidates we are both
messaging to them the place to get
started would be to post on the Stockton
Works system. Okay this way she's not
working with a list and I'm not working
with a separate list. We both can again
go to students and say here's one
centralized place where you can find all
the information that both of us are
knowledgeable of and so we do that
through the Stockton Works system. We also
do that as you can see on here through
social media as well as different
listservs. We both have access to
different clubs and organizations so
we're posting on their social media sites.
A couple other ways that we do this is
on Tara has the opportunity to really
do a little bit more outreach to
employers so as she's going out to site
visits and introducing the curriculum
and introducing students and
opportunities, she's also saying to them
again the Stockton Works system you know,
do you have a profile with us ? This is
the tool that our institution
uses to centralize information. So
she's sharing them that same site that
our office uses in any literature that
we have, she's taking with her to these
site visits to support again
centralizing that information. She's also
messaging our career and internship fair
She knows that it's one of the largest
events that we have on campus to bring
employers here to help them recruit for
various roles so in addition to saying
here's a tool to post the job. Here's
another tool to engage physically on
campus and network with students. So we
give her all the information so she can
take it with her and advocate for these
type of opportunities and then we can of
course support her. One of the other
things I think we do well with the
Hospitality Program is we're always
re-evaluating and assessing where we are
so when we're thinking about the Career Fair
we're pulling up lists from
previous years and saying you know
are these folks registered already? Is there a
reason why they're not registered? Who
else do we need to target? What other
additional specialized communication can
we give to these employers within our
career community? So you know we've done
that for this event specifically for the
event coming up on February 23rd and we
have over 25 specific Hospitality
employers coming which is huge for the
you know number of students that we
produced in that program and I think
it's definitely through some of those
programs you know that we talked about
in terms of looking at that list and
doing additional outreach specifically
for those folks. So again I just want to
reiterate one stop shop for us that
means one hundred percent shared
information and I think it's something
that we have done well over last year
This is just another example
of a tool that we use to put information
out to students faculty and staff. This
is actually something that every advisor
who oversees a career community puts
together and it's a monthly newsletter
and you can find this on the website and
we you know obviously push it out
through social media and
regular listservs and other avenues, but
this is what the Business Hospitality
and Tourism, February newsletter looks
like and it's just another way to push
out content that specific to students in
that particular career community
And I'm going to take the first part of
this when we talk a little bit about our
programs and special events. So you know
we love to connect in the summer and say
what can we do for our community. What
kind of programs are we looking at for
the Fall and the Spring and we hopefully
break things up where it doesn't seem
too overwhelming to students and
hopefully we're offering them some
quality program and this is just an
example of some of the things that we've
been able to do over the last year and a
half since we've had a Career Community
and one of those things it's not
represented on here, but one thing is
Career Center presentations. This kind of
goes along with the one-stop shop and
the checks and balances, where faculty
are inviting us into the classroom and
having us present to students on resume
writing, cover letters, job searching
career fair prep. When we talk about
the Hospitality Sequence, there is a
Career Development class and you'll see
the Career Center in that class probably
three or four times alone just talking
through some of the basic principles of
career exploration, job searching, and
internship searching. So that's one of
the things that the Hospitality...all
of them on Hospitality faculty have
really engaged with our office and
inviting us into the classroom again so
we can get out a consistent message on
all those different topics that I
identified. Another thing that we try to
do is offer what we call an employer and
residents once a semester. That's
something that's hosted through the
Career Center and basically we invite an
industry expert to visit campus for the
day and we try to build a robust
schedule for them to engage with
students, faculty, and staff throughout
the day. So we shoot to have that maybe
once a semester
And to continue on this and if I can
backtrack just a second here and
definitely be a huge advocate for those
Career Center presentations in the
classroom. I also have the opportunity to
teach on an adjunct level in the program
and they are huge benefits, so if you
ever have that opportunity to add that
into a component of your class
definitely do that. They were a huge help
to me because I had the opportunity to
teach the Career Development Class last
semester, which segues into our
internship and is a requirement for our
students to take, great for resume
building, networking skills, and all of that
So that brings us to a couple other
special events and things we like to do
Widener University offers a Hospitality
specific career fair. It is in fact
taking place tomorrow and we like to
take students that are interested in
going up as a group to be able to have
that opportunity to network with
employers directly in the industry. So we
do some special events on that side
trips for a better sense of the word and
then the next thing that we like to do
here in the center, here you can see our
Hospitality Alumni Networking and Career Panel
and this is something that we do
every Spring. I'm so I have the
opportunity to be involved in my second
one this particular semester, but this is
where we bring in our industry alumni to
network and speak to our current
students and it's great it's highly
received by the students they love it
and we try and get a couple classes and
work it into an actual class module so
we can get somewhat of a guaranteed
audience in there, but it's open to all
of our students and our one for this
semester is coming up Monday, April 3rd
and it takes place from six to eight
And then our last piece that we like to do
in the program to tie in to the Career
Fair itself here, a lot of our professors
will make that a requirement for their
class and have their students go to the
Career Fair to have this opportunity to
network again with more employers in the
industry. I know the Career Development
class makes it a requirement because it
takes place on the days that the Career
Fair is taking place
and again we give them some incentive
I'm sure you know require some feedback
write ups and stuff like that. I had my
class go to it last semester and it was
great and we've seen that number of
employers grow over the last couple
years. So we just keep positively telling
that to our students to get them to come
dress professionally ,get the chance to
start to talk to employers, get a little
more comfortable with that networking
and then obviously see their peers and
everything as well
Okay
Alright so on the horizon we like to
call this pretty much like our wish list
of sorts and some things that we still
want to continue to do build on and
those kinds of things. One of the things
is we talked about we did this last
summer. We did a joint visit to our
employers to some of the employers in
the Philadelphia area and we'd really
like to get that again. Dana and I went
out visited with employers who haven't
done actual internships in the past,
maybe get their interest and find out if
they'll have opportunities for our
students. So again something we would
like to target and we did it during the
Summer in the slower time. Obviously we
have students out in the field already
but some more opportunities to bring to
the table when the semester starts in
the Fall, hopefully through the next
academic year
Yeah I think are the
employers that we visited really
appreciated having a representative from
the academic side and from the Career
Center because we can obviously both
talk about our expertise where Tara shared
the courses that they were taking and
the skill sets is that we're developing
from those classes and I can talk a
little bit more about how to get those
opportunities out there to students, what
system we were using and what type of
networking events we had on campus as
well and it worked really well. Everyone
was very excited I think everybody after
that event at least posted the position
with us and we do have Spirit Cruises... is
actually visiting for the Career Fair
this year. So we're excited to have them
on campus and I think that's the direct
result from both of us going out and
doing this site visits together. Yeah and
we visited it in that was some of our
alumni
that were at these different industries
and they're always some of our first
that obviously want to hire our students
so that's a good thing, but then
again establishing even newer
relationships as well. Some other
things we do attending industry events
So going back to the Widener Career
Fairs not only just an opportunity for
the students, but an opportunity for
myself as the Internship Coordinator as
well as our Career Fair and then we have
another one that's actually coming up
that's at the University of Delaware at
the end of the month, going ourselves and
actually networking with the employers.
So that lets them know there's a face
back to these internships that are
getting offer to their students and
maybe there's a central actual
connection to the University there and
then another thing of potential for
growth and we all know the great
Atlantic City expansion that's going to
open up in the next year or so, so we want
to continue to grow that piece of it
because that's such a highly hospitality
saturated market. So I think another
thing we also like to see is just how we
can continue to kind of get our
information out to our students, what's
the best ways and avenues and then they
know overall our students especially in
Hospitality. They know they have Dana and
I as a support to them so we're always
here
I think Peggy's
going to lead us off with the first part
of this, but I wanted to... I'll reintroduce
myself Pat Donohue, Health Sciences and
Medicine Community and Peg and I heard
you mentioning that you meet in the
summer. Peg and I meet at Dunkin for
coffee. I don't know why we don't meet at
the beach because we both are beach
people in the summer. So we want to think
about doing that this summer, but we
wanted to cover certain areas
faculty interaction
Hi i'm Peg Slusser and I am
the Coordinator of the Bachelor Science
and Health Science program. We have a lot
of students we're the biggest
undergraduate major on campus now and we
continue to grow and our students for
the most part come to us with delusions
of grandeur. They are all something. Their
health care providers. They're usually
OTS, PTS, Nurses, Speech Language
Pathologists. Those are the main ones, but
we have Chiropractors and Dietitians. We
also have Mortuary Assistants and we
have... they just want to be all these
things. So we did come to... We have a
problem with preparing them both through
Academic Advising and the Career Center
because what exactly is a Bachelor of Science and Health Science Degree and
with the competition out there for
getting into these graduate programs,
what can we do with our students to
prepare them for the possibility that
they may not be successful or they may
change their mind that there are more
careers in Health Care than just being a
PT and OT , a Nurse, a Doctor. So we started
that conversation. We had a something
like this diagram that shows you just a
tremendous amount. There are so many
areas of Health Care, everything from
business to bedside and now we have
Health Care navigators because people
can't even navigate the Health Care
system. The Health Care providers can't
navigate Health Care system. We actually
need somebody who understands insurance
and providers and who accepts what and
so Health Care navigation is the whole
new career. We also have students when we
talk about crossing these career
communities who are interested in Health
Care, but they want to be a Nurse on a
cruise ship and so that our students can
really... Health Care is everywhere and
they have so much more of a global
perspective. So we try to give them from
an advising standpoint and a Career
Center standpoint the you really should
have plan B and what are your
capabilities and what are your chances
and so some reality in the Career Center
and I can't... The Career Center and
Academic Advising, hand-in-hand with
faculty because the faculty in our
program are very diverse
and the student and the faculty who
advise our students are from all of the
programs in Health Sciences. So they too
are very diverse, but our students come
to us asking questions about programs we
don't know anything about. So we all need
a lot of help. So we started a lot of
these conversations. We have two main
areas of need and we have two courses in
our curriculum that prepare the students
for their careers, basically. They used to
both be called Introduction to Health
Science 1 and 2. Now we've changed them a
little, but in the first course
Introduction to Health Science 1, the
students really get a look at some of
these course competencies and one of them
is roles and responsibilities. So what
can they do and we as faculty would talk
about how to get into a DPT program or
an OT program or second degree Nursing
program but it was so much more than
that. What can they do with their degree
and when the students would show up at
the Career Center or show up at Academic
Advising or come for precepting
regardless of who they went to. What else
could they possibly do? So we needed a
broader array of things to talk to them
about. So we brainstormed and we talked
about what we were doing as faculty and
what the problems were on the other side
because they had no plan B and so how
could we connect our students and get
them to think about what the other
opportunities were and so we decided to
have the Career Center, so Pat goes into
our first course, Introduction Health
Science 1 and talks about those other
career opportunities that you could do
with this sort of a degree and we've set
up career panels and this has been just
would you like to say how easy it is to
set up these panels? Because
there aren't people out... How do
you get the... It seems like you could get a
Nurse and a Doctor and a PT. We don't
want that. We want people who have a
Bachelors in Science and Health Science
who've been successful; finding positions
in Health Care that are not the standard
positions. So we found some... Pat has
become a detective. Let's face it. I was
delighted to be assigned to Health
Sciences in Medicine area, but I also
this is where we lose sleep. What can
someone do with just a Bachelor's? Yes
everybody is going to be an OT, PT, Nurse
Doctor Freshman year, first year. But by
Junior year there they've hit Organic Chem
or Calculus Two or whatever it is that
says is not going to happen. So I, you
know, putting the career panels
together what's hard. This field is like
the new Accounting. I think parents are
saying to their children go into Health
Care it's never going to go away. So Peg
has grown exponentially
advising those as we all know this. So
where are these students going to go for
Bachelors, so by giving me access to all
of her classes, all of the intro classes
Peg has given me the gift of talking to
how many? A thousand students? including
transfer students all coming in and
giving the message, get experiences
get internships, get shadowing whatever it is
you want to call it. Get these
experiences, consider a Minor cause
Business if you're going to go into the
administrative side a Minor or a Minor
in a second language, oh wow and the
third messages please sign up for
Stockton Works because now I can talk to
you. That has been just a tremendous gift
even after these panels, as hard as
they were to find students, you know
grads who were working as Peg said not
in the allied professions, the hands-on
but in general BSHS Degree that their
Degree prepared them for. I'm also saying
please sign on Stockton Works so I can
talk to you early and often in your
career at Stockton. It's been a gift so
we plant the seed early on that there
may need to be a plan B and also Pat's
suggestion about experiences so she also
talks about the mentoring network and a
lot of the context that you can get
through Stockton Works
and then lo and behold later on in the
curriculum we moved to HLTH 2501 which
is now called Teamwork and Collaboration
Now our students are for the most part
the students in this course are Juniors
and Seniors so they've moved away from
that first blush of getting here and
being a... and they... a little more
reality is set in. Some of them many of
them are still on path, they're still on target
They're still preparing for graduate
school and we certainly encourage that
those students are probably we're in a
program that doesn't have practicums or
internships. So many of those students
need to find shadowing hours and
practicums out there independently. So
that is one and they truly are
independent of us because our students
do not have health clearances. So we
can't facilitate those in any way
because it gets confusing. So our
students need to do that and they also
need to have that plan B sort of in in
better shape and now they're looking at
graduate schools and now they have some
serious questions and so Pat and I had
met about this and what do we want to do
to move them along at this stage. Again
they need career options many of them
are looking for employment that they can
do while they're undergrads. Many of them
want shadowing hours and we wanted
reality to set in a little bit so
Pat and I hooked...We got together and we
decided that we would do this
informational interview assignment which
is relatively simple. It's also
relatively low weight as far as grade
goes in this course and we tried...We
boiled it down. It used to be much more
complex. So in collaborating and working
together we found something that works
for the students and they have this
short little rubric. We're basically
again, they're forced to, force to
register for Stockton Works. They
actually get points for that and it is
a such a good resource for them. So that
is part of that if they haven't done it
yet they will do it now. Pat comes in and
she basically teaches them how to do
that elevator speech
which they will need to get their
shadowing hours or their foot in the
door for this interview and if you want
to talk just a little bit about that
Sure the informational interview is a
you know a basic tool in our toolbox and
specifically for what intrigued me
with the Health Sciences is that
you've got this, I had to write this down,
Core Competencies for Inter - Professional
Collaborative Practice. There's a set of
letters but there are there are outcomes
and embedded into all of the the Health
Science Programs where students going
into Health Care need to have certain
competencies. One of them I think
that came out of this was
communication and obviously also
teamwork, working in a team. So an
informational interview requires them to
go and talk to someone in their field,
Not someone thinking of going into the
field. Not someone who is an aide whose
whose job does not require a degree
Someone working in the profession that
they intend to go to. This is not about
how much money are you going to make
What is the demand for the job. They
already know this.They've done their
homework in 1101 the intro class. This is
about qualitatively what... and we
again through trial and error, I like to
make it complicated I guess and and Peg
is the experienced faculty person
Something new I learned about the
Srofession when I interviewed this
person. What did you learn that you
didn't know already? So this is
qualitative and the other thing was
specific advice that you got from this
professional. Now folks who are heading
to grad school. They're still in
the zone of being able to gain
experience. What kinds of experiences? So we kind of guided them into the types
of questions that they should ask and
then, what if any value did I receive
from doing this assignment? I think you
had some feedback from students that it
was worthwhile exercise? Yeah this course
is chock full of things they need to do
it's also a Service-Learning course and
this is one more thing that they need to
do. So that what is the value of this
assignment has been really reinforcing
that this is an important assignment. They actually get
to go and talk to someone who's working
in the profession and may get all sorts
of things in the line of advice that
they never thought of before and they
say this is one of the most valuable
assignments in the whole entire course
plus they really do utilize the Stockton Works resources so that they can find
shadowing experiences, so that they can
connect with other professionals
to ask more questions as they get out
there and even in interviewing they find
this to be really valuable and I have
them asking people about questions about
teams and teamwork. How can you be on a
team or you don't even know who the team
members are or you never talk to them?
And that's generally what a Health Care
team is. It's a whole bunch of people who
never talk to each other. So our students
aren't going to leave here thinking that
and so they're going to go out there and
explode this Health Care system. So it's
been very helpful from the standpoint of
our program just in getting our students
some real-life experience and some
contact with the system and some reality
system, and no longer have delusions of
grandeur. Well they can if they like, but
and we're gentle. We all are gentle with
them but the synergy of this one of the
wonderful outcomes for me is they are
now in the system and I can talk to them
in very targeted ways. There is nothing
homogenous about the Health Sciences as
I say there are those in the pre concentrations going into grad school,
there's the General degree
there's Nursing, there are folks
who are going into medicine, there are folks
are going into Physician's Assistant. So I tell them in this class
put yourself into the degree that you
are ultimately going to get. So now I can
talk to them in a targeted way. An
example is like an employer and
residence. I have someone coming, who on
this week who is a leader in
Medical Scribe Positions. These are ideal
positions for folks who are going into
medicine and I also just learned folks
who are going into nursing eventually
either nursing students now or those who are going to go after
they graduate to the for the next degree
So it's been marvelous and it generates
people coming in to ask about resumes or
interviewing as well. Been a win-win for
me and before this synergy we truly had
faculty telling students when they came
for precepting: go home and look at the
want ads for the medical systems by your
house and see what positions are
available for people who have Bachelor's degrees and think about those because we
were...without the synergy it was much
less rich for the students and now it
can help them so much in planning their
own educational outcomes and having some
successful results and even just
figuring out the titles, job titles. Every
Hospital calls a patient navigator
something different. So I actually took
Peg's pie chart and created a
second sheet with the names of jobs so
that students... Okay I'm there they're
beginning to panic. They get to may be
their you know into Junior beginning of
Senior year. Maybe what if I don't get
into grad school or what am I going to
do with this Bachelor's? I better make
sure it's okay, a lot of anxiety and I
hand them that sheet they can start to
do their homework about what else is
there? Okay, all right so I just wanted to
touch on, thank you Peg and I want to
touch on some other partnerships that
have occurred. Linda Wharton of course
and all about Law school and the Pre-Law
students. She has involved our colleague
Patrick Burns in activities. They have a
bus trip also that goes to the Premier event for students thinking
about Law school. Going to this trip up
North Jersey and this is Rick Mulvihill
who is also has been really our best
friend from the very beginning partners
shares events that he does share. We
share events with him. We go back and
forth about who's coming to the Career Fair that his students want to know about. So again
as Tara and Dana had said all on the
same page with a lot of different events
and cross promoting each other's and
quickly again the STEM
community. This is Patrick burns. He works...
We do this for a lot of professors in a
lot of different areas working on a
regular basis with those who are,
sorry fly ins... You know he is advising
them. Many professors we're delighted
to know, are also incorporating career
exploration into their classes. So they
build a relationship with us and we in
the Career Center know and Advising
knows when it comes from faculty you may
think they're ignoring you but it's a
lot more powerful than it is coming from
just us. So Tate another wonderful
partner with the Career Center again
Patrick goes into his classes regularly
and the it's just the presence of being
there that the professor is saying, look you need to pay attention to this. You
need to start thinking about this. It's
your career in Arts and Entertainment
Communication and Christine works with
the the professors in the literature program
to do career panels giving a broad range
of options that students can engage with
and the free pizza that the alumni share
with us. Education also, yes, it's a
homogenous group but they're they're not
easy to work with as in the sense of
they're very focused on what they're
doing now and not thinking about they're
going to have to interview. They think
school starts in September and they get
hired maybe two weeks before, but we do
interview days here on campus that are
set up with the school districts and our
colleague Jacob Helmeczi has setup
required mock interviews. The resumes are
thoroughly reviewed before it's a
requirement of the education program. So
they are in far better shape we
hope then not having had this exposure
So
I hope that you have taken away some
some other ideas of what you can do to
work with us in the Career Center and
that you can identify those of us who
work with the the students in the career
communities that you are involved with
So no idea is to farfetched to consider
and we would welcome the opportunity to
work with you so thank you and thank you Paula
[Applause]
