WELCOME PARENTS!
As parents/guardians you want to see your student succeed and so do we. The Career Center encourages students to be involved and use our services beginning their first semester on campus.
Encourage your student(s) to come visit us as early as possible in order to understand how their values, experiences and interests interact with their career choices.
Planning is the Key:
Many students fail to recognize that career planning is a process that starts long before their senior year (or the job search process.) Shippensburg University has the programs and services to assist your student as he/she begins planning for the future. Selecting an academic major and a career path are major decisions. Encourage your student to utilize all of the resources available so that his/her career decisions are well informed.
