- The Career Center has recently updated all of their processes, documents, and website in order to better assist students. If you have old links to the website or resources from the CDC, please disregard them and be sure to link to the new website or stop by the office to pick up updated documents. In addition to these changes, the CDC is implementing an open door policy this year in our office. Students are encouraged to walk in whenever they have time between the hours of 9-4 for resume reviews, internship assistance, career advising, or any other concerns. They can, of course, continue to make appointments online as well to ensure our undivided attention. The CDC staff are excited about the recent updates to the office and hope they allow us to streamline some of our processes and better serve the students, faculty and staff on campus. Thank you for your help!
