End-of-Year Reminders from the Career Center

Here are some end-of-year reminders from the Center for Career and Professional Development:

First-Destination Survey for Graduates

Is your student graduating this month? If so, please remind them to complete our First-Destination Survey, so we can learn more about their plans for work or continuing education after graduation. If they work/worked on campus as a student and intend to request a personal reference from an F&M student employee supervisor, they must make sure to submit an Information Release Form to the Student Employment Office for each supervisor from whom they are requesting a reference. The Office of Student Employment supports graduates who have worked on campus at any point during their enrollment by providing employment verification to future employers. Students can visit the Student Employment Office website on Inside F&M for detailed instructions about this process.

ASPIRE Registration Open for Class of 2028

ASPIRE registration is now open for the Class of 2028! ASPIRE stands for Authentic Success and Possibility In Reach for Everyone, and is a seminar program, on Mondays. It’s specifically for first-year students who want to experience the following: exploring personal interests, strengths, and values through guided activities and assessments; researching career options related to personal interests, strengths and values; discussing major and minor declaration as well as curricular and extracurricular opportunities; learning about career-related opportunities and strategies for designing their path forward at F&M; creating and presenting a professional action plan for their next three years at F&M; and connecting with similarly-minded students in the Class of 2028. Your student can contact Angela Harnish, assistant director of career development, for more information or questions.

Students should save the date for F&M’s annual Night of Networking on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025, 7 - 8:15 p.m. Night of Networking is a virtual alumni-student event, and no previous networking experience required. Please remind your student to mark their calendar and watch for more information in January!
