Plan Your Career Week  Feb 7-11, 2011

You've got some choices to make ...

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 Plan Your Career Week from February 7 - 11, 2011.

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 main hallway of STM, outside of Choices.

Surf through our Career and Vocation Centre pages to see what services we offer and also make use of the U of S Student and Employment Career Centre.

it is a privilege to have done my first major mural in a university chapel for I consider it vital that the Christian message be at least available to young people at the turning point in their intellectual life which university represents.” — William Kurelek
