In this episode, host Meredith Metsker sits down with Julia Vollrath (Director of Career Data, Technologies, and Engagement) and Marissa Altenburg (Integrative Career Solutions Manager) from the University of Florida. Julia and Marissa share how UF’s career center has woven data into the fabric of its operations—transforming data from a scary, four-letter word into a common language that empowers staff, drives decisions, and builds credibility across campus. They discuss how to create a true data culture within career services teams, where every staff member feels confident using data for storytelling, decision-making, and cross-campus collaboration. You’ll hear practical strategies for making data accessible, consistent, and action-oriented—plus some fun commentary about why Professor McGonagall would make an excellent university president. Key takeaways Data is a common language : It builds credibility with provosts, presidents, and external partners, showing career services’ direct connection to student success and institutional goals. A true data culture is shared : Data shouldn’t sit with just one assessment lead. Every staff member should be confident using it in their daily work. Accessibility matters : Tools like Excel dashboards, user-friendly reporting, and regular training make data feel approachable and useful. Consistency builds trust : Quarterly trainings, monthly reporting, and standardized definitions ensure data becomes part of the culture rather than an occasional add-on. Context is key : Data without explanation is dangerous. Pairing numbers with stories makes the information actionable and compelling.

How can career services and faculty partner to embed career exploration directly into the classroom—so every student has access, no matter their background or schedule? In this episode, host Meredith Metsker chats with Krysta Foster, Associate Director of Career Services at Michigan State University’s Lyman Briggs College, and Dr. Shahnaz Masani, Assistant Professor in Lyman Briggs College and MSU’s Physiology Department. Together, they’ve built a unique, fully integrated career curriculum called the In Real Life Lab (IRL) that weaves career exploration and skill development into the core science curriculum. Krysta and Shahnaz share how their partnership began, why they see career work as equity work, and how they’ve designed IRL to help students articulate their purpose, plan parallel career paths, build self-efficacy, and connect their academic work to real-world impact. They also discuss what it takes to create strong, collaborative relationships between faculty and career staff, the powerful outcomes they’ve seen so far, and their vision for scaling the program both at Michigan State and beyond. If you’ve ever wondered how to break down silos between faculty and career services—or how to make career education more equitable, accessible, and purpose-driven—this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Key takeaways: Why embedding career into curriculum makes career exploration more equitable and accessible for all students. How Michigan State’s In Real Life Lab helps students connect classroom learning with purpose-driven career planning. What makes faculty/career services partnerships work—and how to start building them on your campus. The powerful outcomes students experience when they reflect on their skills, practice career readiness in class, and build confidence through low-stakes experiences.

Rebekah Paré shares five ways career services leaders can measure career center effectiveness—beyond the standard metrics. -- In this episode of the Career Everywhere Podcast, host Meredith Metsker is joined by higher ed career services veteran and Paré Consulting founder, Rebekah Paré , to explore how career centers can measure (and improve) their effectiveness. With a wealth of experience in both academic affairs and career services, Rebekah shares five core strategies that career leaders can use to optimize their centers and clearly demonstrate value to institutional stakeholders. Rebekah’s five-part framework includes: Strategic orientation: Is your center leading or reacting? Do you have defined goals and KPIs? Rebekah outlines how clear goals and alignment with institutional initiatives can transform a career center from reactive to proactive Institutional alignment: Are you helping your institution meet its top priorities like enrollment, retention, and workforce readiness? Learn how to connect your work with the university’s strategic plan—even if you weren’t originally included in the process. Academic integration: Are you bridging academics and career? Rebekah highlights the importance of collaborating with faculty across all disciplines to embed career competencies and experiential learning directly into the curriculum. Plus, she shares a few strategies on how to do exactly that! Student reach and service design: Who are you serving, and how? Discover how to use disaggregated data, intentional design, and scalable service models to ensure equitable access and impact, especially for first-gen and non-traditional students. Communications and influence: Can others articulate your value? From one-pagers to speechwriter talking points, Rebekah shares tactical ideas for making career center impact visible and memorable to presidents, provosts, and beyond. Rebekah emphasizes that effectiveness goes beyond the standard metrics. It’s about driving transformation, building buy-in, and aligning your work with campus-wide goals. Whether you're trying to scale services, deepen partnerships with academic departments, or advocate for resources, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you lead more strategically. Bonus: Hear about Rebekah’s swing band side hustle, her unapologetic liberal arts roots, and her answer to the ultimate philosophical question: What kitchen spice are you?

Danny Pape, Executive Director of the Center for Career Engagement at Washington University in St. Louis, shares the story of how WashU shifted from a long-standing decentralized career services model to a unified, centralized structure—without losing a single position. With decades of experience across multiple institutions and roles—from career coach to administrator—Danny brings a thoughtful, people-first approach to leadership. He walks us through the why behind the unification, how his team used data and stakeholder input to guide the process, and how they've reimagined career services around student interests instead of majors. Here are a few key themes from the episode: Why unification was necessary: Confusion and inconsistencies across departments were creating barriers for students, employers, and faculty alike. Shifting from major-based to interest-based support: WashU created eight career communities aligned with students’ career goals and industry trends, not their majors. Scaling with technology: Tools like uConnect help eliminate access barriers, drive engagement, and provide critical data insights to inform decisions. Serving the whole career ecosystem: Dedicated teams for employer engagement and academic partnerships help ensure consistent support across campus. Leadership lessons: Transparency, stakeholder buy-in, and peer mentorship were essential to managing such a big change successfully. The future of career services: Danny emphasized the need to evolve constantly, tell the story of career services more effectively, and develop the next generation of leaders in the field. “We as career center leaders and employees need to get comfortable that our role is changing, from that of being a practitioner to being more of a facilitator or an influencer,” Danny said.

Lexie Avery and Melissa Lawson of Binghamton University share how career services and admissions collaborate to recruit, retain, and support students with career development—before they even step foot on campus. Lexie, the Senior Associate Director of Student Engagement and Career Readiness, and Melissa, the Director of Admissions Communications, have worked closely together for years and built a strong partnership between the career center and admissions. Here are a few key ways the two offices collaborate: The career center participates in admitted student events, exposing students to career services before they even begin classes. Career services provides messaging to campus tour guides to equip them to effectively discuss career services offerings—plus the career center is always a stop on tours. Speaking of tour guides, the career center also provides professional development to campus tour guides, particularly around interviewing, hiring, and training their peers. When admissions brings high school guidance counselors to campus, career services participates to share information on career outcomes, experiential learning, and what makes Binghamton different. Similarly, a career services staff member also occasionally travels with admissions counselors to out-of-state recruitment events to speak on career resources, outcomes, and what Binghamton can provide that other schools can’t. Admissions and career services coordinate marketing messaging and programming for incoming students, including a two-credit online summer career exploration course. The two offices also regularly share data and insights. For example, career services shares First Destination Survey data and other outcomes and engagement data to help admissions tell a stronger story to prospective students and their families. And admissions shares survey data from incoming students to help the career center understand incoming student interests and expectations around career preparation. The partnership has contributed to strong enrollment and retention and early career engagement from Binghamton students. Win-win!

In this episode of the Career Everywhere podcast, host Meredith Metsker welcomes Dylan Houle , Executive Director of the Career Center at Santa Clara University, to discuss the misalignment between the importance of career outcomes for students and the positioning of career services in higher ed. In short: If career outcomes are a major reason most students choose to go to college, why are career centers so often underfunded, understaffed, and positioned as mid-level offices on campus. A former teacher, Dylan’s propensity for lifelong learning led him to career services and to start his own podcast called Career Services Leadership , where he talks to senior leaders in career services about their approach to leadership and staff development. Now he’s in the early stages of research for a dissertation centered on career services leadership. In this episode, Dylan shares how he plans to investigate the forms of capital that career services leaders possess that may not be widely seen or valued by their institutions—as well as the forms of capital that are valued but career leaders have limited opportunities to accumulate. Dylan’s goal is to identify how career services leaders can leverage their capital to achieve greater organizational impact. Key themes from the episode include: The need to elevate the role of career services Developing clear career pathways for professionals in the field Better integrating career services throughout the curriculum and the broader campus ecosystem.

In this episode of the Career Everywhere podcast, host Meredith Metsker welcomes Dr. Erica Kryst , Executive Director of Career Services at Cornell University, to discuss how she leads a decentralized but highly collaborative career services function. Erica, a first-generation college student with degrees in musical theater and communications, brings a unique perspective to her leadership. She draws on her own experiences growing up in rural Pennsylvania with limited early exposure to career options and emphasizes the importance of collaboration , context , and enthusiasm in her approach to career services. A major focus of the conversation is Cornell’s decentralized structure, where there’s a central career center (where Erica works) and each college also has its own career center. Erica explains the strengths of this model, such as providing students with highly personalized and discipline-specific support, while also ensuring broad access to shared resources and tools like uConnect, Handshake, and more. She highlights the systems in place for regular communication and collaboration among career staff across campus, including all-staff meetings, shared committees, and digital tools like Microsoft Teams, which help keep 80+ staff members aligned and working toward common goals. The episode also dives into a functional review currently underway at Cornell, aimed at reimagining career services to ensure equity, streamline employer relations, and enhance student access to support. Erica shares insights into the process of gathering input from a wide range of stakeholders, the push towards a more hybrid and unified model, and the need to sustain staff motivation and student-focused innovation. Drawing from her own career journey, Erica encourages other career leaders in decentralized environments to understand the specific context of their institutions, prioritize student needs above all, and foster a culture of curiosity and open partnership.

Nick Edwards , Guided Career Advisor at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, shares how he has scaled career services for Hardin-Simmons’ 1,100 students as a team of one. Nick’s strategy relies heavily on the use of technology—in particular, uConnect’s virtual career center platform—to offer more resources to students and make them available whenever (and wherever) students need them. “My approach is all about finding tools that will help me work with students smarter, not harder, and that will ultimately help serve the unique needs of all the different students we have,” Nick says. Nick also prioritizes faculty partnerships to embed career resources and conversations into syllabi, curriculum, and more. As Nick says, faculty are “on the front lines” and know students’ aspirations, capabilities, and goals better than anyone. Nick also networks and coordinates with career services professionals at other institutions in Abilene. As a team of one (and being relatively new to career services), he likes to be proactive about professional development and staying on top of trends and new ideas in higher education career services. Nick and the other teams also occasionally collaborate on regional career fairs that benefit all of their students. In this episode, Nick shares: How he uses technology to scale his reach and impact How he decides what tech to invest in (given his limited time and resources) How he partners with faculty, staff, and employers How he balances all of his competing priorities and decides where to spend his time as a team of one How he staves off the overwhelm and sets boundaries And more Resources from the episode: Nick’s LinkedIn profile Nick’s email: nick.edwards@hsutx.edu Hardin-Simmons’ virtual career center Continue the conversation in the Career Everywhere Community!

Josh Taylor and Hayley Hollenberg of the University of Kentucky Gatton College of Business and Economics share three specific strategies their team is using to better engage Gen Z students with career services. Those three strategies include: A popular career-focused study abroad program in Paris A career development course A revamped web and social media presence (particularly on LinkedIn) All of these strategies play a part in the Graham Office of Career Management’s new approach to career services. In an effort to evolve with the times and meet Gen Z students where they’re at, the Graham team launched a four-pronged career strategy back in 2019. Since then, they’ve seen incredible results, including increased overall engagement, an over 600% increase in web traffic to their virtual career center (powered by uConnect ), and an increase from 61% in 2019 to 86% today in graduating Gatton seniors who secure a successful career outcome (full-time job or acceptance to grad school). The four-pronged strategy includes: Graham in the Office (traditional career services, 1:1 appointments, in-person programming, career fairs, etc.) Graham in the Classroom (career development course called the Gatton Pro Series, or GPS for short) Graham, Virtually (offering 24/7 access to career resources via their virtual career center, called Navigate *) Graham, Away (providing career-related learning opportunities beyond campus, including industry treks and a career-focused study abroad program in Paris) *Navigate is powered by uConnect Resources from the episode: Josh’s LinkedIn profile Hayley’s LinkedIn profile UK Gatton College of Business and Economics virtual career center (powered by uConnect) Graham Office of Career Management LinkedIn page Graham Office four-pronged strategy document Continue the conversation in the Career Everywhere Community!

It's what they ultimately need to lead more meaningful lives and careers. The career path you embark on immediately after college, the first job, has such a significant impact on a person's long-term career path and quality of life,” Kozhuk said. “So if you're a higher ed institution and you're thinking about students as your customers, and students are telling you that's the reason they're enrolling in higher education, that’s why you should be investing in career services. There's lots of value in making sure all of your students, or as many students as possible, are walking away from their experience feeling like they benefited tremendously and they got the outcome that they were looking for.” Resources from the episode: David’s LinkedIn profile David’s email: david@gouconnect.com Ryan Craig’s “Abolish Career Services” article David’s rebuttal to the “Abolish Career Services” article Michael Horn’s podcast episode: “Goodbye College Career Services & Hello 1-on-1 Coaching with Real Talk to Get a Job” Whitepaper: “Peeling The ‘College Career Services Office Onion’: Why They Are Terrible* What To Do About It “ David’s article about the evolution of career services Continue the conversation in the Career Everywhere Community!

Michael DeAngelis , Senior Associate Director of Communications and Technology for the Career Center at the University of Pennsylvania, talks about three ways his team implements Career Everywhere. Those three tactics include: 1. Starting a Career Champions program Launched in Fall 2023, Penn’s new Career Champion program empowers faculty and staff on campus to have meaningful career conversations with students. DeAngelis and his team have built an entire resources page on their virtual career center dedicated to Career Champions, with training videos, resources, faculty and staff profiles, and a regular newsletter. 2. Strategically sharing student stories The University of Pennsylvania provides summer funding grants to students who need financial help for summer internships, volunteering, research, and other opportunities. In addition to helping award those grants, DeAngelis and his team also ask every student recipient to provide a blog post about their internship or other experience. After funding over 150 students last year, the Penn Career Services team had enough blog content to last them an entire year. 3. Producing the CS Radio podcast DeAngelis, a theatre major, is right at home behind the mic and hosts a popular podcast for Penn Career Services called CS Radio . Featuring career-related discussions and interviews with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and more, the podcast boasts about 200 episodes. DeAngelis said many students have come into the office after hearing an episode, and he also mentioned that the podcast is popular among parents.

When it comes to student engagement with career services and resources, business schools are a different beast. First, most students enrolled in business schools (especially those in graduate programs) have specific goals and expectations around post-graduation outcomes. As a result, they often require more frequent and specialized engagement with career services. Second, it’s no secret that rankings and reputation play a critical role in the success of every business school. Career outcomes directly influence both of those things, which is why many business schools have their own career centers and leverage their own relationships with employers, faculty, alumni, and more. In this episode, we talk with Toni Rhorer of the Rady School of Management at UC San Diego and Gene Rhee of the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon about how they’ve scaled engagement with career services. Toni and Gene share tactical strategies about: How they get buy-in from faculty to embed career development into curriculum How they partner with admissions (and use outcomes data) How they use technology to make resources available 24/7 How they leverage student clubs, alumni, employers, and more for large-scale programming How they’ve turned 1:1 appointments into personalized, high-value sessions And more Resources from the episode: Toni’s LinkedIn profile Gene’s LinkedIn profile Rady School of Management’s virtual career center (powered by uConnect) Lundquist College of Business’ virtual career center (powered by uConnect) Continue the conversation in the Career Everywhere Community!

Michele Doran and Melanie Murphy of Denison University share how their team built the Journey Program , a popular two-day workshop that helps sophomores with early career exploration. The Journey Program includes four 90-minute sessions designed to help students explore careers, think critically about what they want out of work and life, and come up with a plan to make it happen. The four sessions include: Reflect : Students look back on all the things they've done in high school and their first year of college and think about what motivates and fulfills them. Imagine : Students start thinking about how they might want to live their lives—beyond career. Where do they want to live? How important is money to them? What does wealth mean to them? Where might they want to live? What kind of time do they want to devote to the things they care about personally? Plan : Students think about how they're going to use their time at Denison to build the skills, values, and habits that will help them achieve their goals.
