Career Passport: What year are you in school and what are you majoring in?
Whitney: I am a junior majoring in Modern Dance and minoring
in Earth Science.
CareerPassport: What are your career goals?
Whitney: After graduating college I hope to dance professionally
for a couple of years after which I would like to go back to school to get a Master’s
degree. Then hopefully I will be able to become a professional choreographer or Paleontologist.
CareerPassport: Can you explain how you are involved in the
CareerPassport program?
Whitney: I am still fairly new to the program, and I am still learning my way around. I completed the online orientation and have
an awesome mentor!
CareerPassport: What attracted you to CareerPassport?
Whitney: I became
interested in CareerPassport by the help it offers to college students. Because of my diverse interests in careers, I
thought CareerPassport could help guide me towards learning about career
opportunities in both Dance and Geology.
CareerPassport: What have you enjoyed most about the
program?
Whitney: I have
enjoyed getting to know the people in the program. Even though I haven’t participated in a lot
of activities, but the ones that I have participated in were always the best when I
would get to know the other participants and those making this program
possible. Getting yourself out of your
comfort zone really goes a long way.
CareerPassport: What has been the most beneficial activity
you’ve participated in to help you meet your future career goal?
Whitney: I really enjoyed volunteering with the club at the Alumni Family Fun Fair booth last
summer. There were many booths that were
career-based and I was able to make a connection with one of the professors in
the Geology program. He gave me good
advice on some classes that I should take for my Geology interest.
CareerPassport: What advice regarding the CareerPassport
Program would you give to other students?
Whitney: Be as active as possible. Get to know all of the people in the CareerPassport program. They are there to help
you and you are developing networking
skills!!!
