Review our program objectives

This program has the following objectives:

1. Offer real stories and experiences from experts regarding career fields and cultural differences as they relate to student career success.
2. Attune students of color into career opportunities and services offered by the Career Services Center.
3. Engage students from majority groups in dialog regarding differences in diverse cultural, social, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
