The Career Development Center (CDC) has been transformed into the Compass Center for Career & Calling. The mission of the Compass Center is to equip students to navigate their futures and to embark on Christ-centered work for the common good. In addition to the outstanding career services formerly provided by the CDC, this new center provides enhanced internship opportunities and support, expanded connections to the alumni network, and increased integration with academic and co-curricular programs.
Strategically located in Ramaker Center across from Campus Ministry, the Compass Center reflects the conviction that faith and work go together—that finding one’s calling is a centerpiece of a meaningful life. Northwestern Network staff are also located in the center and are ready to link students with alumni for internships, mentoring and jobs.
