Student Affairs

As you begin to explore your career goals and interests, it’s important to understand yourself. During A Career Conversation and Career Communities Open House tomorrow, you'll connect with a career coach to envision possibilities and learn about the industry-focused spaces in the Center for Career Engagement (CCE) to inspire confidence as you make decisions about your future! Refer to your WashU email for your specific session times and locations.

Following your workshop, you’ll visit the CCE location that aligns with your selected community. Grab a cookie and learn more about our resources such as meeting with a career coach, drop-in resume review, and help with Handshake!

On Friday, August 22, all first-year students will participate in the In the Lou Panel, which will feature discussions with university representatives and local community members, focusing on Chancellor Martin’s “In St. Louis, For St. Louis” initiative, aimed at strengthening ties between WashU and the St. Louis community. 

We encourage you to submit a panel question for a chance to win a prize during the panel!

As we begin the semester, please review resources from Information Security to help you with common security needs. If you suspect that you have received a phishing email, report it using the Phish Alert Button (PAB). You can find a summary of other useful ways to protect yourself.

Sumers Recreation Center is open for your use, including daily BearFIT classes such as cycling and Pilates.
