Just Get Started
You don’t have to know anything about what you want to do with the rest of your life to start preparing for a successful life after graduation. Over 7,000 students have already used our quick Canvas Course, Jobs, Internships & How to Get Them, as a crash course in how to get started.
And remember, SuccessWorks advisors are always here for you, whether you’re in the middle of building job search strategies, or just starting to think about your interests.
Explore Based on Your Major
Talking with alumni from your major is a great way to discover all the possibilities ahead of you. By sharing their stories, alumni show how their L&S majors prepared them for success in fields far more diverse than you can imagine.
Major at Work events give you an opportunity to hear from a bunch of alumni at once–all who share the same major. Fall Major at Work events include iBio, Comm Arts, Geography, International Studies and Asian Studies. Explore all Major at Work events.
Canvas Career Conversations is another quick way to connect with alumni of your major. At the end of this virtual 30-minute course, you’ll have the option to connect with one of over 200 UW alumni who have already volunteered to help. Find an alumni mentor based on major, career, or any other details that interest you.
