You've got some choices to make ...

Career Week Collage

We know that it can be difficult to discern your vocation and choose a career, or even to just choose a major. That's why the STM Career and Vocation Centre and the STM/Newman Alumni Association are partnering to bring you Career and Vocation Week March 25 - 30, 2012.

Throughout the week, we will host a number of events to help you with this process. There will also be an information display in the College.
