If I have learned one thing while working in higher education, it’s that everyone and their mother has a different opinion about what is best as far as Career Services is concerned. On most American college and university campuses, career services serves as the in-between between a student who has yet to graduate and their …

NEW BUSINESS CARDS GOT HERE IN TIME!
I ordered some new business cards ahead of the Kairos Global Summit this weekend on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Late last week I realized I only had about ten left – so I had to head over to my trusty business card provider, www.moo.com, and started to dig for some codes …
Really impressed.
