AGGIES, SUMMER DOES NOT MEAN STOP—WE’RE STILL HERE FOR YOU! 

Hey Aggies! While the academic year might be winding down, your career journey does not take a summer break—and neither do we!

The Office of Career Services is OPEN all summer long, and we’re still here to support you virtually. Whether you need your resume or cover letter reviewed, want to talk through your next steps after graduation, or just have questions about your career goals, you can still meet with us on Zoom or through Handshake.

Seniors, if you haven’t already, please complete the First Destination Survey. It’s a quick way to tell us where you’re headed next—and it helps future Aggies, too. Your insight matters!

And if you’re still in Greensboro, stop by Murphy Hall and hit up the Iris Photobooth for a fresh, free professional headshot. Make sure your Handshake and LinkedIn profiles are summer-ready!

Let’s keep the momentum going, Aggies. Whether you’re interning, job-hunting, or just figuring out what’s next—we’ve got you. 🌞💼💙💛
