The “C” of the ACT Center stands for Career Exploration. Choosing a career path can be an overwhelming task, and the ACT Center is an invaluable resource for any student needing career information and exploration. Advisors collaborate with students in their career decision-making process, and help them assess their career interests and values, select a program of study as it relates to their goals, and research specific careers.
