We are delighted to welcome you to our new Center – a hub for students to receive personalized wrap around support and a new model for fostering career, professional and life success. The Center provides all Mary Baldwin students (no matter if you live on-campus, are online etc) opportunities to explore your interests and leverage that into experiences which can include various forms of internships, service learning, leadership, volunteering and so much more. We do this through personalized career focused advising that provides a road-map for envisioning your time at MBU — all in an effort to support your career goals leading up and beyond graduation.
In addition, the Center will work for you to create partnerships with companies and organizations across various industries and not for profit sectors that enable you to engage in fields which will allow you to explore and prepare for life after MBU. Creating career pathways and helping you integrate your experiences in conjunction with your academic studies is our focus.
A very special thank you to the generosity of board of trustees chair, Gabby McCree and her husband Don, for their vision and support for the Center. We’re just getting started and are looking forward to meeting all of you in the coming weeks.
