How to Make Career Services a Campus-Wide Strategic Priority (feat. Barbara Zerillo)
Q: What role did site visits to other institutions play in your strategy?
Site visits provided firsthand insight into staffing, tech stacks, and what senior leaders at other campuses prioritize; involving the president helped demonstrate the initiative's priority and accelerated alignment and buy-in.
How to Make Career Services a Campus-Wide Strategic Priority (feat. Barbara Zerillo)
Q: How did you build the case for investment and leadership buy-in?
I combined internal data on engagement and persistence with external benchmarking, then presented a clear 'why' and a concrete risk of not investing, culminating in a formal Y document that outlined the strategic priorities, tech needs, and staffing expansion.
How to Make Career Services a Campus-Wide Strategic Priority (feat. Barbara Zerillo)
Q: What does Career Everywhere mean to you?
To me, Career Everywhere means equity and accessibility—embedding career readiness into every facet of a student's experience, not just academics, so every student can engage with career resources easily and at scale.
Online Career Development that Reaches All Ages, Programs, and Places (feat. Amy Ballard)
Q: Amanda asked, can you talk a bit more about the networking events and how they are structured and how many people usually engage?
Networking events use a gamified platform (Gatherly) with themed booths and 10-minute blocks in which participants rotate to deepen conversations. Even smaller groups can be highly impactful due to peer-to-peer value and word-of-mouth growth, and the largest sessions have run about 50-60 attendees with many more engaging asynchronously.
Reframing Experiential Learning in a World Without Enough Internships (feat. Todd Schuster)
Q: What advice would you give to career services leaders navigating all these options?
Find faculty champions to embed career readiness in the classroom, integrate tools like Forage into curricula, and create a cohesive end-to-end journey that makes career prep part of the standard student experience.
