Our Success Stories

Soft Skills
It’s not the subject-matter skills that advance you later in your career, it’s those other softer skills. Work ethic, teamwork, communication, and being a good mentor—those skills are much more important.
Matt Vera ’90, chemist, federal government agency
Experience
The Breen Center was very helpful with my career search. They helped me set up a LinkedIn profile, which I used to get an internship this summer. Now, I have a job offer from my internship, and it all started with a drop-in visit to the Breen Center.

Outcomes
Students should take advantage of the Career Peers service and other networking opportunities the Breen Center hosts. Their Accounting Night led to my summer internship.
