CCI knows your last year in college is an exciting time—but also can be a bit anxiety-producing as you think about life after Middlebury. We’re here to help! We’re offering workshops throughout September to jumpstart your post-grad plans. We’ve designed all the workshops to give you the tools you need to explore opportunities out there in the “world of work.” Come to one, come to them all as you explore your options in different fields. Just be sure to RSVP on MOJO to reserve your seat now.
We also invite you to set up a one-on-one meeting with a CCI adviser of your choice to craft or review your plan for the year ahead. Click here to learn more about the team of advisers, and then pick a time in our new online scheduling tool in MOJO.
And while you’re in MOJO, be sure to update your profile. Why? Because the more you tell us, the more relevant and targeted our marketing can be about events and opportunities tailored to your interests. Pay special attention to “preferred industry,” with 18 choices, from Arts to Education to STEM. And it only takes two minutes to complete—really.
That’s it! So—three things: attend a workshop(s), schedule an appointment, and update your MOJO profile. We’re looking forward to working with you to make the most of your senior year—and help you invent your future!
