OFFICE OF CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND LEADERSHIP

The Office of Career Development and Leadership (OCDL) assists students’ professional and leadership development while serving as a resource to students, faculty, and the business community. By emphasizing hands-on learning as an essential tool for full-time employment and developing a career path, programs and services help students realize their career goals and leadership growth. Specific services include career exploration/planning, creating job/internship search materials (resumes, etc.), and developing interview skills while assisting with identifying internship/career opportunities through career fairs and postings. Leadership development programming is also offered through the National Society of Leadership & Success and the Leadership Wesleyan program.

These program areas are directed by Tanisha Reed, Director of the Office of Career Development and Leadership, located in room 110 of the Hardee’s Student Union. The OCDL partners with ActOne, Inc. to provide professional staff and additional job placement opportunities for students and the community.
