Career Quest: Exploring Career Choices

This September, the Career Quest LLC has been up to a lot! We participated in the LLC Banner Competition and won the grand prize! We won a pizza and ice cream party that will be held on November 16^th. We plan to bring out some board games and play a few different ice breakers. The professor for the LLC class and the Peer Mentor have been invited as well. The banner is displayed on Floor 24 of North Tower and will be up for the rest of the school year. Career Quest residents also received their t-shirts this past month, which many were excited about. We’re planning on decorating the shirts to make them more personable as an LLC. On the 30^th, we had our first Mental Monday, which is an event once a month where residents can voice their opinions about the LLC and corresponding class, as well as use this as a time to chat and get to know one another better. We’ve been brainstorming other ideas and are working on a trip to Chicago to get a behind-the-scenes tour of Shed Aquarium – per the resident’s requests. Currently, we have a few other events planned for the remainder of the semester, and are hoping to see more participation from the LLC residents. It’s been a bit of a struggle to try and get residents to step out of their comfort zones and explore multiple career choices. However, we’ve been working hard to cater to their needs and figure out how best to get them involved. The Career Quest LLC has been hard at work and already has seen improvements so far. We’re excited and looking forward to the remainder of the semester and all we have planned!
