Request Presentation

The Career Center offers tailored presentations on a variety of career-development topics designed for students, faculty, and staff. As a faculty or staff member, you can request one of these presentations to embed career readiness within your courses, workshops, student organizations, or departmental programming.

Below is a sampling of presentation topics the Career Center currently offers. Each presentation can be adapted to your audience’s needs (e.g. undergraduate, graduate, discipline-specific).

• Building Social Capital: Sometimes It’s Who You Know — Understanding the importance of connections and how to cultivate relationships
• Unlocking Your Potential by Building Experiences — Identifying and leveraging experiential opportunities for growth
• Resume Glow-Up: Invest In Yourself — Best practices for crafting and updating effective resumes
• Vibing in the Workplace — Strategies for transitioning smoothly into the professional environment
• Mind Your Manners: Dining Etiquette — Tips for formal networking, lunches, and professional settings
• Career Toolkit — Overview of Career Center services, programs, events, and resources
• Empowering Your Why (Exploratory & Decision-Making Styles) — Exercises to clarify career direction and choices
• Passing the Vibe Check: First Impressions Matter — Preparing for interviews, creating a strong presence, responding to tough questions
• Explore Your Career: The Value of Experiential Learning — Emphasizing hands-on opportunities and their link to career outcomes
• Career Exploration with Steppingblocks — Training on using Steppingblocks to explore career paths, trends, and alumni data.

If you have a specialized topic or want a presentation focused on your discipline, please mention that in the request, and we’ll work with you to customize.

• Promote early and widely. Share the event in your course announcements, department newsletters, or via email to maximize student awareness.
• Provide context. Let us know your audience (undergraduate, graduate, discipline) so we can tailor examples and language.
• Arrange logistics. Confirm AV needs (projector, microphone, etc.), room setup, and expected attendance.
• Follow up. Encourage students to take next steps — e.g. visit the Career Center, schedule appointments, or use Handshake.
