Our approach
Career Development’s work with students is grounded in theories and research from education, human development, and industry, including: Positive Psychology (Seligman), Emotional Intelligence (Goleman), Career Chaos Theory (Bright), Identity Capital (Cote), Blended Learning/70-20-10 (Center for Creative Leadership) and Self-Authorship.
We emphasize the importance of developing identity capital from a student’s very first semester on campus through hands-on experience, developing transferable skills, and identifying one’s strengths. Career Development strives to help students prepare for a lifelong career journey, advising them on the importance of resilience and recognizing opportunities as they navigate an evolving world and job market.
