Welcome to the Career Champion Resource Page!

Career Champions are faculty and staff who are committed to student success by supporting students’ career development both inside and outside the classroom.   The office of Career and Professional Development created this community to recognize the important role of these faculty and staff and to support them as they advise, teach, and mentor students.
