It may be getting hotter, but this conversation from a much colder Living Room on the Lawn still resonates. ❄️➡️☀️

One thing we hear all the time from students: “I feel like I need to have everything figured out before I come to the Career Center.” You don’t.

As Vice President & Chief Student Affairs Officer Kenyon Bonner shared in this conversation, asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of problem solving and strength. That’s part of how growth happens.

You do not need all the answers before showing up. Showing up is part of finding the answers.

Whether you’re exploring majors, preparing for internships, practicing interviews, or just trying to figure out what’s next, the Career Center is here to help you think through options, ask questions, and take the next step with confidence.

A reminder from a snowy day that still applies in the summer heat: asking for help is normal, strategic, and strong.
We’re here even if you don’t think you’re ready.
