Career Planning
An appropriate career choice appears to be a major contributor to students' satisfaction with their
performance in university. The Career Planning Centre (UC-4002) serves as a drop- in centre
designed to help students in such areas as gathering information relevant to educational and career
goals, performing self-exploration of career-related interests, clarifying values, acquiring more
effective decision-making strategies, and developing both short- and long-term career plans. The
Centre is open daily from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.. Students are encouraged to stop in and acquaint
themselves with the Centre's resources.
