multicultural weekThis year’s theme for Multicultural Week, From Defacement to a Dream: Building Community, calls attention to the ways in which oppression and injustice have manifested in our campus community; most recently through repeated acts of defacement.

Right here, right now.

job-seekers-roundtable“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!
