If you’re noticing the expectant looks on the faces of parents and young adults carting around their belongings into dorms (or on the crowded streets of Boylston or Summer streets if you’re in Boston) you may well be aware of back to school season: higher ed version.
In Student Affairs, we’re fielding questions and introducing incoming students to the value of what we do, and being a bridge from their academic training to career. Ultimately we’re sharing three things:
- It’s a process
- Every human goes through it and develops career for LIFE!
- We’re excited to help people realize their potential and their dreams.
But I’m not done with lists yet. In the spirit of the journey that is Education, below is a top list of things you can do to re-learn info about the career development center and services for you, and for the chance to work with students if you’re itching to head back to Emerson! Some of this info is similar to past pieces, but bear with me as I attempt a best practice in the world of marketing communication: things have to be stated more than once for folks to remember.
I’m sure Anders Croft can back me up on this. 🙂

Way back when, and now, the mark of an Emerson alum brings with it something unique, innovative and of course influential in the arts and communication. Keep this in mind as you wonder about the mark you want to make in your career. From our work in the career development center, it’s quite clear that Emerson students are still amazing, and still blazing trails for the storytellers of the future. But I’m preaching to the choir. 🙂
And let’s all welcome the Class of 2022!
