As the Director of the Center for Career Development at Adelphi University, it is my distinct privilege to welcome you to our office.

We have assembled a dedicated and experienced team of professionals serving the career development needs of students and alumni. It is our philosophy that students should begin the career exploration process early in their academic careers. The Center for Career Development promotes teaching lifelong skills aimed at assisting students and alumni in identifying, researching, and developing career opportunities. We advocate a comprehensive Four-Year P.L.A.N. For Your Future:

Prepare:	-	Assess your values, interests and skills; explore academic majors
Learn:	-	Understand your major; identify key players in your industry of interest
Act:	-	Apply for internships and/or jobs; interact with professionals in your field
Next:	-	Finalize resume, interview for employment; think about graduate school

We assist students and alumni in executing this plan by providing workshops on various career-related topics such as resume and cover letter writing, interviewing skills, internship exploration, and job search techniques.

Our team works to establish partnerships with employers wishing to recruit Adelphi students and alumni. We facilitate various programs designed to bring students, alumni, and employers together including career fairs, networking events with alumni, employer presentations, and the campus recruiting program. If you would like to know how your organization can partner with us, please contact me directly at 516.877.3131.

Once again, thank you for your interest in The Center for Career Development. Our team looks forward to working with you!

Sincerely,

Thomas J. Ward, Jr.
Director
The Center for Career Development
