WKU Advising and Career Development Center opens Career Studio for students
Whether it’s making important choices on a college major, looking for their next internship or preparing for their first job after graduation, WKU students can get the career coaching they need at the Career Studio from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday in Downing Student Union, room 2001.

“Before we had the Career Studio space, career coaching felt a bit rushed because we were mostly taking short individual appointments. Now it’s more of a relaxed setting. You can come in and stay as long as you need. We can help multiple people at the same time,” said WKU senior Savannah Slusher, a peer career coach in the Advising and Career Development Center.
