The Career & Civic Engagement Center (formerly called the Leadership, Innovation, and Liberal Arts Center) is an effort to greatly enhance the opportunities available to students for their personal and professional development and to help them become effective, self-aware leaders in their chosen life pursuits. The Center promotes career planning, professional development, civic engagement, and experiential learning opportunities including internships, externships, and alumnae networking.
All of these services can be found under one roof in the new Student Life and Wellness Center.
Among the highlights of the new space for the Career & Civic Engagement Center are three dedicated interview/meeting rooms and a community room that will be outfitted with all the necessary technology for students to meet with employers and community partners and to engage with guests from around the world. The space also brings together the Center’s entire 16-person staff, which had previously been dispersed in four different locations across campus.
“Now when a student needs to see one of our staff members, they don’t have to worry about figuring out where to go,” says Career & Civic Engagement Center Director Katie Krimmel. “And when they’re here, we can work together much more easily to meet their needs.”
