Our Mission Statement:
"To inspire, empower, and connect emerging professionals in their career development as they discern vocational calling, develop competencies, and pursue lifework goals."

At Career Services, we are committed to inspiring, empowering, and connecting you to your true potential and goals. Our biggest wish is for you to emerge as professionals as you go into the workforce either for the first time or if you change your career. We want to help you recognize and understand how purpose and meaning intersect with your distinct personality. We also want to help you see how you can grow to engage the work you will practice in life.

We plan to encourage you through a five-level path that we call "The 5Es to Success", or "5Es" for short. You can follow the path directly or just look into specific tools - like our job posting website, assessments, or the resume builder. We hope you find these online resources helpful and beneficial, but feel free to visit our office, located on the first floor of Stevens. Below the 5Es are more clearly defined.

The 5Es to Success:
