Two weeks, every Career Community, one Career Design Quest
Whether you’re a first year or a senior, the first two weeks of fall term are all about launch: kicking off the academic year, starting classes, and reconnecting with or meeting friends! To celebrate, the Center for Career Design is hosting Launch, a series of events aimed at helping you connect with our Center, find your people, and have fun! Here’s how it works:
- Stop by our events, ranging from tabling pop-ups to a block party to our Fall Job & Internship Fair, to learn about our resources, meet our Career & Life Design Coaches and campus partners, play games, and win prizes. The first 30 students at each Career Community Launch Social get a free T-shirt!
- To get more merch, complete action items in your Career Design Quest passport. We promise, it’s super easy. The more you show up, the more you win!

What’s Going On?
Start the term by mentoring each other. Grab two friends (or make some) and rotate through a speed-mentoring round in trios—one asks, one answers, one observes—then swap until you’ve been in every seat. Prompt cards guide each round and are matched to your year: explore what’s out there, or sharpen your internship-and-job search. Career & Life Design Coaches will be available, and snacks will also be provided! Drop by whenever and stay as long as you like.
Start the year strong with your Arts & Creative Career Community! Meet your Career & Life Design Coach, Chris Jordan, alongside representatives from the Hopkins Center and the Hood Museum, and discover the opportunities and off-campus treks lined up for the year.
