Student Profile

Jessica Tressa, '18

B.A in Communication with a concentration in Advertising and Public Relations, Minor in Studio Art

"The Center for Career and Professional Development helped guide me to choosing the right career path for me. They provided me with advice on job offers, negotiations, and insight into the interview process' best practices. I urge students to work with them as early as freshman year.

With their help I have secured a management trainee position in my dream company before I have even graduated. "

Student Profile

Caroline Rublein

B.S. in Applied Computer Science and Information Systems, Mobile and Game Application Development Track

The Center for Career and Professional Development has been invaluable in helping me begin my career in computer science. I am very grateful for the opportunities they provide for critiquing résumés, attending various career fairs, and taking practice exams. I have had interviews for multiple internship positions thanks to their advice and guidance.

While I am still an undergraduate, my future goals include attending graduate school and earning a PhD in computer science, and I know that the Career Center will be instrumental in helping me achieve those goals.
