Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano

“You are here!” Now how do you create a well-lived first year at Southwestern and beyond? From your academics, to getting involved, to working toward your future, learn techniques and tools to design your life with curiosity, intentionality and collaboration. Facilitated by the Center for Career & Professional Development.

Conversations about university life with current first-gen students

Welcome Week event for developing SMART Goals

Welcome Week event to discuss how to communicate via email at the university level

The Center for Career & Professional Development crew (including Ichabod and Antoinette, our headless mascots) welcomes new transfer students to Southwestern. Learn how you can get support for your career development! As transfers, your time horizon to next steps after SU is probably shorter than for new first-years, so starting early to explore options, build marketable skills, and develop strategies for moving from “Pirate2Pro”(fessional) is critical to your future success. We look forward to meeting you!

New students who want to work on or off campus while in college should attend this meeting to learn about how to search for positions, how on-campus employment works with financial aid, how to create a professional resume, and how hiring paperwork works.

Board games for first-gen students
