Our Career Commitment

Your Career Starts Here

As part of our career commitment, we'll help you build a roadmap tailored to your individual interests on a flexible timeline that evolves with you. 

Career prep doesn't just include our dedicated Center for Career Excellence team; you'll also have guidance from faculty and alumni who are invested in your success. You'll learn how your classes, co-curricular activities, research experiences, and off-campus study opportunities can inspire passions, reveal your unique strengths, and lay the foundation for a rewarding career.

Bring us your interests and enthusiasm, and we'll connect you with the tools, resources, experiences, people, and funding to support your career exploration.

Your Career Roadmap

As part of our career commitment, we'll help you build a roadmap customized to your individual interests on a flexible timeline that evolves with you. 

Careers 101

Taught by faculty and members of the Center for Career Excellence team, the Careers 101 course equips you with the tools you’ll need for a strong start to your career exploration.

 As early as your first year on campus, you'll hone practical skills while exploring your interests, like how to craft a resume, find internships, prepare for an interview, write a professional email, and network with alumni.

One-On-One Career Coaching

It's never too early in your time at St. Lawrence to schedule one-on-one advising with one of our career coaches. Whether you know exactly what you want to do or you’re still trying to figure it out, our career coaches and career-field specialists can help you connect the dots between your on- and off-campus experiences, your education, and your future. 

Funding for Internships & Research 

We believe experience is the best way to gain practical skills and turn an interest into a passion. That's why you might consider pursuing an internship or conducting research on a topic that sparks your curiosity. 

Accessibility is a core component of our Career Commitment. If you choose to explore your interests through research or an unpaid or underpaid internship, we’ll help you through the process of securing funding to manage the costs.

Personalized Career Plans

No two career paths are identical, and your career plan should be as unique as your St. Lawrence experience. That’s why our coaches get to know your individual interests and make recommendations tailored to help you explore them. They also partner closely with members of our No. 1 Alumni Network to stay on top of industry trends and provide insight on the latest opportunities.

Alumni & Faculty Mentoring 

At St. Lawrence, one-on-one mentoring allows you to tap directly into the knowledge and connections found in our community. 

Our LINC Mentoring Program matches you with a mentor in our No. 1 Alumni Network based primarily on your career, academic, and personal interests.

Our Center for Career Excellence coaches also partner closely with your faculty members. If graduate school is your goal, you'll have a robust support network at your disposal as you refine your academic focus, explore your options, and navigate the application process. 

Preparation for Graduate & Professional School 

St. Lawrence’s Career Commitment isn’t just made by our Center for Career Excellence—it requires collaboration from your biggest supporters across campus. If graduate or professional school is your goal, we’ll partner with your faculty mentors to help you refine your academic focus, research programs, navigate the application process, and decide your next step. 

You can even get an early start on your next career step through our pre-professional and dual degree programs.
