success stories

“With the help of Career Services, I shadowed a forensic psychiatrist at the Arkansas State Hospital. This was such a great experience because it not only strengthened my medical school applications but also allowed me to put my senior thesis on psychiatry into context. I have Career Services to thank for this valuable experience.”

- elizabeth morgan ’11

“My decision to pursue the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship led me to the most challenging application process I’ve ever experienced, but Career Services helped provide me with the tools to be a strong candidate. The hour-long mock interview sessions, constructive feedback, professionalism lectures, and writing workshops were all very helpful. I wouldn’t be writing this as a 2010-2011 Watson Fellow if it weren’t for the resources offered by Career Services. They truly help facilitate your dreams. I strongly encourage all students who question their professional future to visit Career Services.”

- nathan thomas ’10

“Working with Career Services, I not only was accepted for an internship at the Yosemite National Park Archives, but also lined up an internship at the Clinton Library afterwards. Career Services helped me make my application materials more professional, working with me on formatting my résumé or wording my cover letter to make it clear that I was an ideal fit for the positions for which I was applying.”

- lauren van zandt ’10
