Because of the Career Discovery Experience, I’m walking away with a different mindset. I’m not thinking about careers as giant, permanent decisions anymore. I’m thinking in terms of small steps, experiments, and trying things that might teach me something.”

Kalvin S.

The Career Discovery Experience made me realize that most people don’t actually have it figured out, especially this early on. That was honestly a relief.”

[The Career Accelerator] was a terrific experience that taught me a lot and has a tremendous support system as well, with tons of resources. I would recommend it to everyone."

Robby M.

Southern Methodist University

I believe that the most valuable thing to me in The Accelerator was just building confidence in myself when going into searching for a career. I was able to figure out things that I'm really good at, which helped me make a change to my degree path that I didn't know that I wanted prior to entry. Thank you so much for everything this semester! I'll forever be grateful.”
