About Us

The Center for Professional Pathways was officially established 2022 upon new development and philosophy behind career development and life design. The office had previously been named the Service Learning & Career Development office since 2004. Prior to that, it had been the Career Development Office before expanding to include Experiential Learning services and the Community Internship Program.
