Ever wonder “What’s out there for me?” Academics, volunteering, workforce – all of these things make up the life we live now. But how does that connect to where you want to be in the future? The Career & Leadership Institute provides the opportunity to train with community leaders on things such as interviewing, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, networking, and interpersonal skills. Get the chance to sit with and ask questions of business leaders as they discuss the job opportunities offered here in our county. Visit local and international corporations while gaining a look behind the curtain of the inner workings of some local powerhouses. Plug into the network of individuals that will serve as mentors and resources for your future!  Please CLICK HERE for more information and application instructions!

ATTENTION!!!!

ELEVATOR PITCH FROM THE DEAN TEAM:
(see what we did there? 😆)

Elevator use is reserved for individuals with mobility challenges or for those transporting heavy boxes, equipment, furniture, etc. 

All able-bodied individuals should be using the stairs. Please speak with your grade-level Dean if you need special permission. Students using the elevator without special permission or a demonstrated need will be issued an infraction. 

The elevator is a vital resource for those who need it. By prioritizing usage for individuals who are not physically able to use the stairs, we contribute to a more accessible and inclusive community. Your cooperation is really appreciated!!
