"Bad Careers? Not Here!" poster

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the 2007 — 2008 academic year! Your campuses are buzzing with new students, many of whom need direction. If you are in a career center and need help advertising your services, we still have free "Bad Careers? Not Here!" posters. These posters emphasize how you can assist your students in finding the right career that fits their individual needs.

If you would like to request a free poster, click here.

In our last issue of the Career Insider we asked you to submit some success stories in your experience as a career counselor. Thanks so much for your entries. We wanted to share one success story from Nancy DeCrescenzo at Eastern Connecticut State University:

"At Eastern Connecticut State University, we value each and every student success! In fact, we receive so much positive feedback from students; we started a special section of our website to celebrate them. Each semester we host a Writing & Communications Intern in our Office of Career Services. One of the intern's responsibilities is to interview students who have experienced success as a result of interacting and working with our Office. The stories are then posted to our department's website. Students identify with their peers, and the Success Stories website has generated increased traffic to our office. "

If you have any tips or best practices you would like to share with your peers, please contact us at cpp_career_insider@cpp.com. We would love to hear from you.

As you gear up for the coming year, feel free to contact us with any questions or requests for assistance. We will do all we can to provide you with the products, services and answers that you need.
