Off-Campus and Life After College

Last year I was able to go away for my IQP and had a great experience! My project actual helped me get my internship this past summer with a Civil company. This term I am taking a senior seminar to finish my international studies minor and one of the topics that we cover is how to market your off campus experience. It has been great to be able to talk about my experience and learn how I should market my experience overseas.

Last night I was able to attend one of the sessions that Andy Masters did about Life after College. The CDC along with many other organizations worked together to bring him on campus to do two different presentations: Life after College and also Greek to Great. The Life after College presentation really made me stop and think about what I really want to do and what I might be happy doing. It also really motivated me to start a business, write a book, or become a motivational speaker but that is besides the point :)

The pep talk really gave me a kick to start looking at different businesses and field that I might not think of. That what the plan for next week it: look for different companies and figure out how I can market myself to them!
