For many first-year students embarking on their college journey, the prospect of preparing for their future professional lives might not initially top their list of priorities. The allure of making new friends, exploring newfound independence, and immersing themselves in various activities and classes often takes precedence. However, as they receive important instruction in their required university seminar class, they are also strategically introduced to the university’s Career and Professional Development Center.
In its inaugural run with the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Industry Connect series featured several local civil engineering professionals from companies such as HDR, Inc., SpawGlass, Hanson Professional Services, Port of Corpus Christi Authority, and Lockwood, Andrews & Newman, Inc. In fall 2023, the center hosted its second Industry Connect series focused on connecting representatives from the information technology sector with the university’s computer science majors.
