DIVERSITY STATEMENT
The Center for Career and Professional Development as One
Clemson strives to educate ourselves and others about the issues
of a pluralistic society. We are committed to reaching beyond
the views of individuals to value a community that appreciates
and learns from each other’s similarities and differences. Our
services and programs will seek to create a safe environment
that affirms the dignity and worth of each individual regardless
of their differences.
The Center for Career and Professional Development will set
an example of commitment to embracing differences, including
those differences that are not visually apparent. We will welcome
and serve people regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, sexual
orientation, age, citizenship, religion, socioeconomic status
and physical and mental abilities. In addition, we encourage
employers to maintain a similar standard of commitment
to diversity.
HOURS OF OPERATION
The mission of Clemson University’s Center for Career and Professional
Development, through partnerships with employers, faculty and staff, is
to empower students to make effective career choices based on realistic
self appraisals and comprehension of the world-of-work, resulting in self-
sufficient graduates who market their education, skills and experiences to
achieve life-long career success. We are committed to providing services in
a supportive and proactive manner. The Center for Career and Professional
Development is an integral part of the Clemson community and supports the
accomplishment of the overall mission of the University.
The Center’s programs and services serve everyone from the first-year
student exploring career interests to graduating students seeking their first career related opportunity. The services of the Center are
available to all full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate students at Clemson University. The Center also serves alumni
up to one year after graduation.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
864-656-0440
Career Development Services help students and alumni (up to
one year after graduation) make satisfying career decisions. We
assist individuals who are choosing a college major, making
educational plans and developing or changing a career focus.
Services include the following:
Career Counseling —
Our career counselors are
available for both counseling
appointments and drop-in
hours. General drop-ins should
last about 15 minutes and are
intended for any quick
questions. For more in-depth
discussions, you are encouraged to call ahead to make
an appointment.
Career Assessments
— It can be very helpful to take an
online career assessment such as Strong Interest Inventory
in order to help narrow your career interests. Coupled with
a values and skills assessment, the Strong Interest Inventory
can help students become more self-aware, identify specific
interests and gain an understanding of how to explore these
interests further. Although career assessments can not give
a student all the answers, they can be a useful tool in the
career decision-making process. Students may take the
Strong Interest Inventory online as well as in the Center
for Career and Professional Development office. A follow-up
appointment will then be scheduled so a career counselor
can interpret the results with the student.
