Free to be you. Are you true to yourself? Do you know who you are? If you need some help figuring yourself out, Career Services can help. Learn about your top five talents that you can build into strengths, your personality type, your key interests, values or skills. Career Advisors are available to help you discover more about yourself. Ready to get started? Call 540-231-6241 to meet with a Career Advisor.
Research paths you might take. What are your plans for the journey to your career? Do you want to investigate various careers? Check out Candid Career via our web site. Look up alumni on LinkedIn. See job titles and employers of VT grads in the Post-Graduation Report. Still want more information? Come see us in Career Services.
Experience. Get as much as you can. While you’re working on your degree, make gaining experience a part of your education. How can you obtain experience? Internships, Job Shadowing, Cooperative Education, Undergraduate Research, Leadership Positions, and more! Our Career Advisors can help you map out your plan for experience.
Engage with the environment. This campus is in a beautiful part of the world. Do you get outside to enjoy it? Go for a bike ride on the Huckleberry Trail. Take a hike to the top of Buffalo Mountain. Go cool off at the bottom of the waterfall at the Cascades. Soak up all that nature has to offer while you’re here.
Drive. Do you have it? What goals have you set for this summer? How about for this coming academic year? What about after you graduate? Career Advisors can help you work on SMART goals to make you stretch to reach your career goals.
Open yourself up to try new things. Commit to unwavering curiosity, as we in the Division of Student Affairs aspire for you to do. Study or travel abroad to explore new cultures. If that doesn’t fit with your plans, support the Cranwell International Center as a volunteer. I’ve met so many people from all over the world in English Conversation Groups at Cranwell.
Make Ut Prosim a motto for life. That I May Serve is a tenet to embrace while you’re a student and after you graduate. What are you doing to serve as a student? Opportunities abound: The Big Event, Relay for Life, an Alternative Spring Break, and VT Engage, to name a few. Take time to give back.
Thank you to the many who serve in the Armed Forces or have served to maintain the freedoms we possess in the USA. Happy Fourth of July!
"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." Nelson Mandela
