Easily talk to a career advisor at drop-in appointments!
During the academic year, the Gorter Family Career Advancement Center team of career advisors offers drop-in, or “express” advising. This time is for you to ask any career-related questions you would like, such as resume writing, interview tips, or even "How do I get started?".

Resources for First-Years
As a new student, your path starts with our career “First-Year Fast Track,” a program to help you take your first key steps in exploring your interests and getting career-ready. We highly recommend you stop by Career Express Advising to check in about your progress, talk to an advisor if you are unable to attend one of the “Fast Track” workshops, and get additional support!
Pro-Tip: Bring your Career Milestones Map to start an Express Advising conversation
The Career Milestones are part of our action-oriented four-year program that will enable you to develop and implement an effective career strategy to accomplish your professional goals. Each step is loosely correlated with the traditional four years of undergraduate education, but everyone moves at their own pace. To help you find your way, the Career Milestones Map provides a guide to the most important actions you can take for your career planning. As you progress, you can check off these actions to record your journey. Express Advising is a great time to talk to your career advisor about your progress and where your map will take you next.
