Preparing Students For the World as It’s Going to Be…
Dear Parents:
From the freshman and senior Life Skills Seminars, to the 4-year Action Plan developed by the Office of Career and Professional Development, to experiential learning opportunities implemented by stellar faculty, HPU is focused on preparing students as President Qubein puts it, “to be job creators, not job takers.” That doesn’t mean that students need to start their own business necessarily, but rather, they should remain focused on creating value at any organization they may serve.
To keep students in an “entrepreneurial zone,” HPU even leverages social media to highlight the opportunities they have to craft their own personal brand.
Take Career Tip Tuesday Infographics as one small example:
Through the year, the Office of Career and Professional Development provides relevant infographics to underscore the importance of building career connections. The impact, of course, is not in single messages, but in the consistent delivery of the content designed to educate, enlighten, and inspire.
Whether in person at a career counseling session, in the classroom where faculty invite Career Counselors to engage with students, or even on Twitter and other social media platforms where students spend much of their time, HPU is connecting academics with career-based outcomes.
The message is simple and constant: here are the tools, the support, and the advocacy of faculty and staff to help you succeed.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership,
Roger Clodfelter
Vice President for Communications
