Meet the Team
Career Development‘s mission is to empower students and alumni to build meaningful relationships and careers.
The Coaching team provides targeted support through market-relevant coaching, high impact programs, and online resources. We empower students to understand themselves, identify career goals, and create a personalized strategy.
Career Development Philosophy
Because varied situational, contextual, and market influences may affect the career development process, we believe in educating students about:
- Complexity: Recognize influences and emerging patterns and identify and explore options to make informed career decisions.
- Chance: Embrace change and curiosity. Use open system thinking to pursue interests and seek new opportunities through small steps.
- Change: Identify factors within and outside of one’s control and prepare and respond to change with optimism and adaptability. Deconstruct false and limiting beliefs and construct plan of action reflective of all aspects of identity.
- Competencies: Identify opportunities to develop and demonstrate sought after skills. Align strengths and skill development with market and societal changes for market congruence.
Professionalism Policy
- Students registered to attend a Career Development program, event, or appointment are expected to attend or cancel at least 24 hours in advance.

- Students are expected to communicate any delays or late arrivals before any Career Development event or appointment they’ve RSVP’ed.
- Failure to attend three scheduled appointments without providing sufficient notice may result in the suspension of your coaching privileges for the semester.
