Ready-Set-Go
 As a Career Services Staff, it is our pleasure to serve your students…and our hope we'll get to know each of them while they are at GF. I was asked once about my vision for our office and I replied, "To assist each and every student here with their career development process in some way." Our new theme this year is "Ready-Set-Go" and our mission is to coach your student toward career success. Ready is for the early-college years of selecting a major, Set is for the mid-college years of getting work experience and the Go is for the final years of finding professional employment or going to graduate school. Because we eagerly desire to meet with your students and help them along the way, we are offering personal guidance sessions by appointment for each class beginning this fall:
- Freshmen Starters
- Sophomore Check-ups
- Junior Reviews
- Senior Consultations
Many times our students are surprised to discover all that we have for them. Here is a quick Career Services At-A-Glance to help you understand what we can do for your student:
