"I love how flexible the program is. You get to meet and work with people in different majors, but are still able to chose and focus on projects that pertain to your own area of study and interest. Some career leaders spend time volunteering at events, while others prefer to be creative and think of market strategies."

Sample Tasks Include:
-Visit classes and student organization meetings to promote Career Services
-Develop relationships with faculty to keep them informed of career events
-Act as a Career Services representative at college events (i.e. career fairs).
-Serve as a St. Paul Campus Career Center host at University or employer events.
