This Week's News and Announcements

A Message from the Career Center

The first year is an exciting and unique time for students; exploration and getting to know your new environment are key. The Career Center offers resources to assist you in that exploration  process:
New for Fall ‘18: Tufts Career Center course just for First Years!  6 weeks, 1 SHU —Add it to your cart in SIS!
Designing Your Tufts: Get Career Ready through Design Thinking
As a first-year student, you will find an abundance of amazing courses, co-curricular experiences and related opportunities awaiting you. You may be tempted to think that you need to "do it all" to get the most from your Tufts experience. This course will teach you -- early in your college career -- to apply design thinking strategies to explore college and life experiences that are more meaningful to you and build the core competencies and career readiness that employers value today. Through activities and field-based experiences, you'll learn how design thinking can help you explore options, and at the same time, help you wrestle with a “wicked” problem: How do I know if I’m on the right track if I don’t know exactly what the destination is?
