Second Year Students

Here are learning activities that you can participate in during your sophomore year that will serve you well as you develop you upcoming career:

Cement your major and (possibly) a minor.  Sometimes it helps to take a self assessment, interest test that will help you decide what major to pursue.

Know what majors are available at SU and what you can do with a degree in...

Talk to your faculty advisor about your major selection or make an appointment with the Career Services Staff. 

Join clubs and activities on-campus.  This is especially helpful if a club relates to a specific occupation you may want to pursue.

Continue your Volunteer work.  It is a great way to gain Career-related experience.

Work on-campus to earn extra money.

Think about studying abroad in the next few semesters.  Only 3% of American students study abroad and by so doing it will really help you stand out from the crowd.

Learn what skills and abilities you must possess when you graduate from college to be successful.  All employers want these from their employees, no matter what the major.

Students often, inadvertently, hurt their future careers.  Dangers lurk-Beware!  Know them before it is too late.

The time to begin is NOW.  Career Services stands ready to help you.  Come into our office in GUC 133 anytime.
