Student Experiences
"From our conversations, the advisor helped me realize that I was underselling myself on my resume and spent many hours with me overhauling my resume. She also helped me to be able to showcase all my skills and past experiences effectively in one page. My advice to students is don't be scared to walk in and get help!"
"The personalized aspect of the session was most valuable because the advisor did a great job of conveying information and detailing what is available on campus."
"The ability to talk to a friendly face and being provided with many options was very nice. I came in knowing nothing about what I wanted to do and left with more of an idea!"
