Career Assessment Month a Success!
As Career Assessment Month comes to a close, the Career Center was able to administer and interpret assessments for over 200 students! Interns from SF State, Janet Ramirez and Nereida Angulo, pictured, assisted in interpreting assessments and giving students more insight into their results. Students from Kent Gomez and Arielle Smith’s Counseling classes as well as Mike Fitzgerald’s Physical Education students joined in taking assessments and receiving interpretations throughout the month. Many students dropped by to join in as well. The Center appreciates all those who attended and hopes to have offered some insight into potential careers and majors which students should pursue. The Career Center offers career assessments year round, so feel free to visit the center in Building 1 Room 1219B anytime!
