Career Advisor and Internship Coordinator Rebecca Pettitt helps students articulate strengths, values, and interests to reach their potential. She is currently working on upcoming events for Carer Development Month in November and Take a Logger to Work Day in January, which allow students to explore a wide variety of career paths. “A career isn’t a lifetime commitment,” she says.

FALL INTO FICTION Fall is the perfect time to dive into a good book, whether under your favorite tree, like this Logger, or curled up in your favorite chair. Kristi Dopp, director of the Logger Store, recommends a few popular titles currently flying off the shelves: The Testaments by Margaret Atwood, the long-awaited sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale; Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton, a genre-bending apocalypse story by a Seattle author; and The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow, a debut novel filled with magical realism and adventure.
