CAP Center and Faculty: Partnering For Success

The goal of "CAP Center and Faculty: Partnering For Success" is to get CAP Center staff into classrooms or to get classrooms to come to the CAP Center with the ultimate goal of connecting with students early enough in their academic careers to make a difference. The Career & Academic Planning (CAP) Center is dedicated to providing centralized, comprehensive, and coordinated intrusive developmental academic advising to all undeclared students and students changing majors. The CAP Center provides career development, experiential learning, and employer relations programs for all students and alumni. This program encourages students to document their acquired skills and achievements, service learning, internship, and job experiences, leadership and organization involvement in preparation for persistent career management.
