Share Your Thoughts about Course Materials

Earlier this month we asked you to participate in a research initiative that measures college student attitudes and behaviors about course materials, online learning, and technology. The survey will help us understand how we can best support our students and how technology and online learning will play a role in the future of higher education. You still have time to take the survey here.

Career Services Success Story: Scarlett Bowman

“After attending a job fair, I realized my management major wasn’t a good fit for me. I met with Career Services to assess different majors and decided to go into supply chain management. This fall, I met with my college career consultant and he helped me plan for the upcoming job fair. After the fair, I had the pleasure of interviewing with Georgia-Pacific and accepted a position as a procurement specialist.” Stop by Career Services in Dunford Hall or browse their website to find out ways their office can help you find a job or internship.
