College & Career Center Connections
Hello Class of 2022!
Seniors - Welcome to College & Career Center Connections!
My name is Nicole Mathis and I am your Career Center & Scholarship Specialist. I am here to help you navigate your busy senior year! In this and upcoming editions of College & Career Connections, you will find useful information for Seniors such as dates of upcoming events, tips from me, links to scholarships, apprenticeship information, answers to Frequently Asked Questions and much more. There is a TON of information in this newsletter because I know so many of you are eager to learn what you should be doing the fall of your senior year and how to get started doing it! Let's start here together - rest assured there will be much more to follow.
This newsletter will serve as my main tool for communicating with all of you so make it a habit to read these newsletters in addition to checking the website! I will continue to update the website regularly so you can have 'one stop shopping' when it comes to your College and Career Center questions and needs. Please remember that the Career Center and all of its resources are for everyone! Whether you're aiming for an apprenticeship, a 4-year college, community college, trade/tech school, the military or to join the workforce after graduation, I'm here to help!
PS - Please take my Senior Survey - let me know what you're considering for your future!
