Advising Sessions with the Office of Careers, Life, and Service
Grinnell’s Office of Careers, Life, and Service will not only help prepare you for your future career(s), but will also help you think critically about how to lead a life of meaning and purpose tied to your specific interests and goals. This is done through a variety of offerings, including connecting all students with one or more of our career communities. The Career Communities team provides specialized advising and programming as students focus and connect their values, strengths, and interests to particular post-graduate goals and ambitions.
We invite you to chat with a staff member of the below career communities to give you a glimpse into this unique and personalized advising process. You can join a simulated advising session by clicking on the links below at the designated date and time. Feel free to join as many advising sessions as your schedule allows.
