🎓 This week, I had the privilege of celebrating graduation week at Near East University with students, friends, and acquaintances as they reached this incredible milestone. But as I watched the graduates posing with their gowns, caps, and certificates, a question lingered in my mind: What do they plan to do after tonight's celebration? From experience, I've seen many graduates approach life like travelers who hop on the first bus that arrives, letting it take them wherever it goes. If you’re a recent graduate, don’t make that same mistake. Instead: ➡ Reflect deeply on what you truly want. ➡ Seek guidance from professionals in the field(s) you are interested in. ➡ Keep developing the skills you need to succeed in the professional world, and ➡ Learn to be proactive in making decisions about your life from now on. Finally, no matter how uncertain the economy or job market are now, remember that you’ll be fine, only if you take responsibility for your actions going forward. I wish you all the best. ==== PS: If a graduate asked for your advice, what would you tell them? Share your thoughts in the comments. Thanks.

Something I have learned from counselling students & families, and managing teams of students & faculty, is to take their lead in improving processes and on-the-ground client services. One suggestion from our Senior Career Peer, Amanda Chacon Brown, and supported by all Career Peers, was to increase our appointment times from 25 minutes, to 40 minutes to reflect the real time it took to thoughtfully facilitate an appointment. As this was my first time opening up the school year in this position, I took the month of September to collect data on how appointments were run. I saw that 30% of our appointments were back-to-back double bookings as they required more time. Additionally, conversations tended towards rushed, and Peers were unable to keep their five minute buffer time between appointments (for entering appointment notes, taking a brain break and prepping for their next appointment) because 100% of appointments ran overtime. Since our change to 40-minute appointments in October, we have been able to maintain our five minute buffer in the vast majority of appointments, and had 90+% of appointments finish within their scheduled timeframe. The Studio is calmer despite being busy, and the quality of conversations has shifted. On the slower days, appointments which wrap up early allow for additional time for drop-in's, something that was not possible in September. Reduced stress allows Peers to focus on thoughtful deep facilitation as opposed to beating the clock, which is an improved experience for both Peers and students. Go team! (How's that for a STAR story?! :) Want to craft one yourself? Come on down to the Studio - we can help!)

With the recent graduations that have been happening, my intrusive thoughts have wondered about the relevance of the certificates awarded. Having graduated 7 years ago and struggling to find a job where I can apply the relevant skills I have learned, I have concluded that the certificates awarded are slowly losing relevance.
