Choosing a Major

Choosing a major in college can be a daunting task. Individuals typically begin their career search at a different point in their life. Every student has a different work history, personal challenges and/or obligations, as well as desired level of educational attainment. Given the notion that no two people are the same, career counselors usually look at various factors that influence a person’s decision. Through personal exploration, we will discover your values, skills; motivation; expectations; interest; passion; and work history just to name a few.

On-Campus Recruitment Events for Employers

Employers are invited to schedule visits to campus to meet with students, share information and recruit prospective candidates. Our Center can assist you in setting up an Information Table in a high-traffic area on campus, or arrange an Information Session where students can learn about your organization.To make arrangements for a recruiting visit, contact Career Services at (808) 845-9204 or email us.
