Remember how good it felt in Kindergarten to stand up and share something you loved with your classmates? Get to know other members of the WCU in Philadelphia campus community with some old school show and tell!

Even if you don't have anything you'd like to share, join us for this informal get-together anyway!

The Career Center is offering 1-1 appointments and extended daily virtual Drop-In hours to assist students with any of their career needs. Both services can be accessed through Handshake which is also where all events are listed and students can upload resumes for online reviews.
