Break time is the perfect time to
Job Shadow!

Job shadowing is an excellent way to test your career interests by seeing "a day in the life." Spend a few hours, a day, or a few days.

How do you set up a shadowing experience?

  • Ask people back home if they know anyone who would let you follow them when you are on break.
  • Ask faculty here if they can recommend anyone, particularly alumni.
  • Use the Online Alumni Directory to locate alumni.
