Campus Resources: Chowan Career Center

Chowan Career Center Newsletter

The Chowan Career Center, currently located on the top floor of Penny Hall and also known as the Center for Student Leadership, is open to all Chowan students and alumni to help guide and assist them in the process of career planning.

As freshmen arrive on campus, they should go ahead and begin the process of career searching, and students should continue this practice throughout their college years in order to ensure that they have the best advantage in the job market. The Chowan Career Center aids students in establishing a career plan by the use of SIGI, System of Interactive Guidance and Information, and by using this information to create professional resumes for valuable internships and jobs. Students are encouraged to discuss self-assessment, summer job searches, internship opportunities, or plans for graduate or professional schools.

Call Michele Reedy at (252) 398-6454 to schedule an appointment, and walk-ins are always welcomed.

The Chowan Career Center offers:

Help with resume and cover letter writing
Job listings and internships
SIGI - a software program to help find a career direction
Annual job fairs
Workshops - such as Financial Planning, Interviewing, and Career Planning
Career Resource Library
Copies of the Graduate School Guide
A Senior Career Banquet for graduating seniors
