“The most interesting and thoughtful over-50 people I have met are those who still have no idea what they want to do.”
-Unknown
This Fri., May 8 join us in FOSS 5116 from 1-2:30 p.m. for a discussion about what it takes to uncover what you want from a career.
When we were young and plotting our career paths and personal lives, most of us thought very little of the day we might have to reinvent ourselves. This is approached with maybe some deeper digging than we could have ever thought necessary. For this deeper career excavation, we need to identify personal meaning and pleasure indicators and how they intersect with our strongest skills.
Please join us this Friday (5/8) and share your experiences on this subject. We’ll talk about six basic pathways suggested by career coach, Cheryl Simpson.
Settled on a job choice? As always, the floor is open for sharing how you found your path, along with the ups and downs of your job search and strategies; all with the usual delicious coffee, snacks, and networking.
Hope to see you this Friday – and as always: Good Luck Out There!

Looking for a quiet place to get your computer work done but have a hard time concentrating with lots of noise around you? Come visit the 4102 Student Computer lab.
Since coming on board 6 months ago, I have worked hard to turn this very busy 100-computer lab into the vision the SCC Parliament has wanted for a long time. Because of this, the environment has changed pretty drastically and the students of SCC are very appreciative!
Due to the high usage during the day, if you need to work on your own portable devices (such as a laptop or tablet) I ask that you use the library tables upstairs or other places on campus in order to free up a computer for other students.
Also, book work that does not involve using our desktop computers really needs to be done elsewhere on campus where you can spread out and get your work done more effectively.
Because of the “whisper tones only” philosophy in this lab, small group activities are not appropriate and will be asked to seek another location. Constant chatter is too disrupting to other students around you as these conversations inevitably build in volume. This is also why there are to be no phone calls in the lab! Those around you do not need to hear your private conversation. Phones are to be on vibrate, and please take calls in the hallway only. Please be respectful to your peers.
We are working on purchasing scanners (for the library and this lab) that will scan directly to PDF to help facilitate upload to Canvas.
If there are any other things you’d like to see or have ideas about, please feel free to come chat with me.
For those who are not familiar with the posters and flyers in this lab stating the Parliament rules, please see the Lab Rules brochure.
Thank you,
Deann Larsen
