Seniors: It's Go Time!
Let us help you ensure you are Set for Success!
Whether you have a full-time job lined up or have just started seeking a position, the Career Center invites Seniors graduating in June 2024 to earn its new
Set for Success career readiness designation.
Earning the
Set for Success designation means you'll have:
A Plan and the Tools You Need for Success: The program requirements will connect you with resources that will support you in planning and achieving your next steps.
A Graduation Honor Cord: Show off your career preparation achievements by proudly adding a Set for Success honor chord to your graduation look. Students who complete program requirements will receive their honor cord at cap and gown pick-up the week of June 10.
An Entry into our Senior Raffle: Be entered to win a $75 gift card.*
The process is simple and comprised of best practices that you should be engaging in as you approach graduation.
Here’s what you need to do:
Prepare: Have your resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile reviewed by the Career Center using our in-person or asynchronous services.
Deliver: Share your elevator pitch—a quick introduction you can use when networking—with the Career Center for feedback. You can deliver your elevator pitch to a Career Center representative by visiting our offices or by DMing us a video on Instagram.
Activate: Apply for one or more positions on
Handshake.
Once you've completed the tasks above, simply complete this form to order your honor cord and be entered into our Senior Raffle.
Compete for your college! The college with the highest percentage of graduates who Set for Success will win a prize (and bragging rights).
*Please note: you must be a student graduating during the 2023–2024 academic year to enter the raffle and/or earn an honor cord.
But That's Not All!
Check out these additional Senior Season offerings for graduating seniors and graduate students!
We're reserving time on our schedule for you! If booking an appointment on Handshake isn't convenient for you, simply stop by during our seniors and graduating students only drop-in hours!
