Is your career truly aligned with your core values?
In today’s fast-moving world, many professionals rarely pause to reflect on their deepest beliefs—or how those beliefs shape their job satisfaction and long-term success. Yet when your work aligns with what matters most to you, you can experience more purpose, clarity, and fulfillment.
Join us for an interactive webinar with Lindsay Stamm, JD ’05, and learn how to:
- Discover your core values and what they mean for your career
- Assess whether your current role and work environment reflect those values
- Identify areas of disconnect that may be causing frustration or lack of motivation
- Explore practical steps to realign your professional path with what matters most
If you’re contemplating a career change—or simply want more meaning in your work—this session will equip you with the clarity and tools to take your next steps with confidence.

Handshake is a fantastic tool to help on-campus employers find and select student workers. It is the university's policy for all student positions to be listed on the platform, but that does not mean the platform always makes it easy, and there are a plethora of common headaches Handshake can cause. Creating a department or unit account can be unintuitive. Setting up individual users can be frustrating. Communicating with and tracking candidates is arbitrarily limited. Getting answers to those or any other problem is what this workshop seeks to address.
