We are excited to invite staff and faculty to submit presentation proposals for Career Exploration Day on Tuesday, March 3. All classes will be cancelled between 12pm and 5pm.
This campus-wide initiative is designed to support students in exploring career paths, connecting academic experiences to real-world opportunities, and building confidence in their future goals.
Goals of Career Exploration Day include:
– Meaningful Career Exploration: Providing sessions that help students explore career fields aligned with their interests and values, while gaining insight into how academic pathways translate into professional opportunities.
– Building Career Competencies: Supporting the development of essential skills, confidence, and self-awareness, such as communication, critical thinking, self-advocacy, and decision-making through interactive and hands-on learning experiences.
– Showcasing Partners: Engaging academic departments, campus partners, and employers to connect their work, programs, and expertise directly to students’ career development and future pathways.
We welcome session proposals that align with one or more of these goals. Presentations may focus on career pathways, transferable skills, industry insights, professional identity, or experiential learning opportunities connected to your role or department. Sessions may be informational, interactive, or discussion-based, and offered individually or collaboratively.
Interested in presenting?
