Kalamazoo College Career Development Mission Statement

The mission of the Center for Career Development is:

To assist students and alumni as they develop a confident understanding of themselves in relation to work and service. We are guided by our belief that this understanding evolves for each person, at least in part, from a sense of self in society tested through active and first-hand exploration of career options. Each person, with his or her unique combination of values, interests, and capabilities, will be offered our help in seeking to define, clarify and pursue fulfilling life aspirations.

We aim to provide resources and personalized assistance in a friendly, creative and professional setting. Among the resources are the relationships and opportunities we identify, develop, and cultivate that lead to specific positions and programs for field experiences and post-graduate opportunities.

We expect students to accept personal responsibility and take initiative in their pursuits. We are committed to being active partners with our students and recent graduates.

Reviewed in January 2007 and we still believe in these.
