The Career Development Center received two awards for “Picture Yourself Global” programming efforts at the 2010 annual conference of the SUNY Career Development Organization: The award for Excellence in Programming and the Capstone Award for overall best submission.
“Picture Yourself Global” was created to enlighten students about international opportunities on campus, what international jobs are and how to find them, and how to market global competencies. New resources were created and made available to students. In addition, Nancy Paul, CDC director, and Kristyn Mohr ‘10, CDC’s international engagement intern for 2009-10, co-presented “Growing Global Talent: The Critical Role of Career Services.” The session provided an overview of why nurturing a culturally fluent, cross-national mindset is important; what “being global” means; the role of career services professionals in preparing “global ready” graduates; and ways students can build global competence at home and abroad and market them to prospective employers and graduate schools.
