What You Wear Can Get You Somewhere… or Nowhere

by Tom Keith, former Director of Business Development

You roll out of bed late, take a shower, and quickly get yourself together. No time to eat breakfast, so you head out the door. Before leaving, you check the mirror.

• Hair combed? Check.
• Shirt and tie? Check.
• Khaki pants? Check.
• Clean shoes? Check.

“I look good,” you tell yourself, dressed to impress for your 10:00 interview.

But you aren’t. Not even close.

by Laura Merrill, Manager of Cooperative Education

For Bill Ready (’01) and Danese Seaman (’99), participating in a co-op program meant more than just money—it meant significant opportunities upon graduation.

Their experience is typical, and one of the main benefits of having a co-op assignment.

Bill, a CIS major who graduated with a 3.9 GPA, speaks highly of his co-op experience. “Co-op is among the most valuable experiences of my undergraduate career. The Ulmer Career Management Center’s co-op program had a very significant impact on me, both personally and professionally,” he said.
