Our Mission

Our mission is to assist undergraduate and graduate students, as well as degree-holding alumni, in determining their major course of study, choosing a career direction, and pursuing graduate education. We emphasize student success through self-exploration, career exploration, and the development of job search-related skills. Our goal is to empower our clients to make sound career decisions, achieve career satisfaction, and become productive members of society.

Our Values

Our core values are the foundation of all we strive to do. We value:

  • Efficiency: We embrace the importance of efficiency in this fast-paced environment. We seek a synergistic and intentional approach to our operations, valuing thoughtful and timely decisions that are data-driven and congruent with sound ethical practices.
  • Excellence: Excellence is reflected in all we do, from the relationships we create and nurture with our diverse clientele, to the services, programs, and information we provide, and the manner in which we interact with our colleagues internally and externally.
  • Innovation: We embrace innovation and are not afraid to take risks. We create innovative solutions based on deeper insights and empathy for the needs of all constituents, applying creative problem-solving techniques using both design mapping and lean startup principles. We start with a “beginner’s mindset” and question all our old assumptions about what a career center should be.
  • World-Class Customer Service: We strive to provide the best customer service to our students, alumni, employer partners, and faculty.
