A Letter to Seniors From the Office of Counseling and Career Services
Email, April 14, 2020
Dear seniors,
This is a difficult time in our country and our world to be a graduating senior. Counseling and Career Services is aware of your unique situation and struggles. This video speaks a bit to your struggles, from one college student to another: An Open Letter To The Class of 2020
We think this 2020 graduate said it well when she said: “Just know that it is okay to feel sad. It is okay to feel incomplete. Our generation has seen recessions, the longest never-ending war, along with a climate change epidemic. Our resiliency is apparent, and we just have to keep moving forward and play the cards that we have been dealt.”
Our office seeks to give you support that will help you to keep moving forward and plan for a bright future. The method and modality of completing your degree has changed, and the approach to connecting to a future career may seem dismal. Yet, it is paradigm shift to which you can adjust. Will it be easy? Probably not. However, you didn’t get to this point in your life and your college career with everything being easy along the way. You have achieved a great deal already; we know you have got this and we are here to help!
We can help you create a bridge to the world of work and get through this challenging transition. We will be regularly posting information on our facebook account, our portal community, your portal landing page and we will be emailing you as well.
Our goal is to guide and support you through:
- Helping you with your job search
- Helping you set up your Handshake account
- Providing information for virtual networking
- Refining your resume and cover letter
- Preparing you for virtual interviews
We are offering all of this in Microsoft Teams appointments and email.
Please keep reviewing all of these sources of information and please feel free to contact Career Outreach Counselor Wendy Gillman for individual support; [email protected].
