Values

We are guided by the Principles for Career Services Professionals as outlined by NACE. Additionally, we adhere to the following values:

Integrity. We operate with strict adherence to our university’s code of ethics and ensure the utmost honest, straightforward, relevant communication with all those we serve.

Trust. We know that our students and alumni will, at times, share deeply personal information with us – goals, dreams, hardships, current circumstances, etc. We will never betray the trust of our students and alumni in the mutual pursuit of their career success.

Respect. We hold our students and alumni in the highest regard. We respect their values, goals, and decisions. We intend that all interactions with the Career Services team be based on mutual respect.

Innovation. The world of work is changing and the job seeker must change tactics along with it. We seek innovative ways to assist our students and alumni in preparing for and advancing their careers.

Connection. We know that it is sometimes difficult to “feel” great service and connection from a virtual resource. We strive to be a high-touch entity that makes our interactions personal.

Relevant. We know there is a myriad of career information on the Internet, so we strive to ensure the service, resources and information we provide are relevant and personalized to you and your career needs.
