Academic Advising & Career Development Center

Solid academic and career preparation

At St. Norbert College, our academic advisors and career counselors work closely together to help students plan for their four years here and what comes after they graduate. That includes taking a holistic approach to everything from the development of a four-year course plan to internship selection and career exploration.
 
Our team at the Academic Advising & Career Development Center (AACD) is here to: 

  • Devise a four-year course plan with students and help them decide what classes to take and why
  • Meet with first-year students to explore the different programs of study available at SNC
  • Provide in-class professional development opportunities that cover topics like relationship-building, interviewing and career prep
  • Discuss clubs, student orgs and other opportunities for getting involved on campus
  • Share resources and assessments for choosing a major
  • Host career fairs with employers across Northeast Wisconsin to give students exposure to different job openings and career paths
  • Help coordinate on-campus employment
  • Provide guidance on available research opportunities
  • Assist with résumé development
  • Advise on job shadowing and mock interviews
  • Partner with students to find meaningful internships
  • Work together to identify and apply for grad schools
     
  • Once I got here, I just knew that this was my second home. It’s the most welcoming community: faculty, staff, other students, people in your different social groups – sororities, fraternities, any type of other organization you’re involved in … everyone is here to support you.

No major decided? No problem!

It’s common for students to come in undecided about their major and question what is ultimately the right fit. We’re here to help! SNC’s AACD team will walk you through an in-depth career exploration process that involves assessments and personality testing.

Lining up the right internship

There’s no shortage of internships through SNC! We have partnerships with some top-tier organizations that are often specifically looking to hire SNC talent. Our AACD counselors work with students to find the best fit for an internship. Plus, SNC now offers an internship class every semester with an emphasis on professional development.
