Beyond Evergreen

Talk to your faculty and Academic Advisor so they can help you select the educational experiences to support you in your goals after college, whether it is joining the work force, changing careers, or continuing your education in graduate school.

Planning for Your Next Steps

Even if you don’t know what you are planning for sure, talk to your faculty and advisors about what you are thinking, this way they can walk you through your options and help you navigate your next steps.

Work with your faculty to design your capstone to highlight your knowledge and skills in the disciplines and areas you want to pursue after college – this is especially important if you plan to continue your studies in graduate school.
