You might be pleasantly surprised to find out that volunteering can really help you build an impressive work portfolio and show off your skills to future employers. Plus, it's a great way to develop important soft skills like communication, leadership, and teamwork. And let’s not forget internships—they’re fantastic stepping stones for your career. Think of them as part-time gigs during school that could turn into amazing full-time jobs down the line! For Native and Indigenous Heritage Month, we partnered with the University of Maryland's Office of Multicultural Involvement and Community Advocacy to present a list of volunteering and internship resources helpful to Native or Indigenous students. Check out our resources by visiting go.umd.edu/nhminternship. For more career resources, we are here for you. For guidance on Native and Indigenous resources, please email Kyrsha Balderas from MICA at balderas@umd.edu ✉️ You can check out all of MICA’s events by visiting go.umd.edu/MICAEVENTS.

We wish you a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving, Terps! FYI, the Career Center will be open Monday, November 25th and 26th before break starts. Our offices will be closed November 27th-29th and we will reopen on Monday, December 1st! Gobble and go Terps!

ARHU Terps, we know that figuring out your career path can be confusing. But we're here to help! Join us this Thursday for an ARHU career exploration workshop where we help you identify themes and connections between your academic, professional, and life experiences. Using this map, we will discuss how they might guide your time at UMD and beyond. You can sign up for the panel through your Handshake account by visiting go.umd.edu/handshake. We hope to see you there!

We are thrilled to see our Graphic Design Graduate Assistant, Ruchica Sinha, making waves on campus by sharing her insights as a PepsiCo intern at the Internship Networking Panel hosted by UXTerps with #UMD students.
