Planning for Next Steps and Fall Term

Senior and Post-Grad Job Search Support

The Career Development and Field Work Term staff encourages graduating students to arrange a meeting with an advisor to discuss their post-graduate job search. These sessions provide an opportunity to explore job search resources, receive valuable feedback on application materials, and participate in mock interviews to refine interviewing skills. Students may request an advising appointment via Handshake by clicking .

Summer FWT Registration and Independent Study

Students are advised to apply for and register their Field Work Term (FWT) experiences early as summer positions typically have early application deadlines. Students may request a or stop by during our drop-in hours on Wednesdays and Fridays, 10:00 - 4:00 pm in Barn 112. 

To assist with gathering information to register a FWT experience via Handshake, students are encouraged to use the Career Development and Field Work Term Office鈥檚 which provides an overview of the information and materials required for the Field Work Term registration process. 

Summer FWT Deadlines

Students are expected to register and complete an approved FWT each academic year. Failure to register will result in a fail assessment. Retroactive Registrations (over the summer) will not be considered.
