Celebrating Black History Month is part of my daily practice of gratitude that honors the freedom fighters in history. That includes those within my family and their long walks to freedom that paved the way for my liberation. Their strength from extraordinary accomplishments empowers my work as a change agent, one that I cherish and preserve. My heritage has a profound legacy fighting for voting rights and calls me to continue working on critical issues today.

These goals have concrete tasks the student can complete as well as time sensitive deadlines that can empower your student throughout the job application process.
Whether your student is a first year or a senior, it is always a good time to begin the discussion on career planning. In fact, research shows that students who begin planning early are more likely to land a career position or admission to graduate school upon graduation. It can take anywhere between two and six months (or more) to find an internship or job — making right now a great time to start planning to land an opportunity for next summer.
