ASYNCHRONOUS ASSIGNMENT OPTION FOR US 1100 PATHWAYS – Complete prior to “event” deadline for credit  

 

In Canvas, join the Career Success Toolkit site maintained by Career Services. Complete the “Job/Internship Search” module in the Career Success Toolkit to build early career readiness skills.

 

You'll complete two assignments: 


  • Research whether your major requires an internship/co‑op and explore credit options 

  • Browse Handshake to find three jobs of interest and identify an upcoming career fair to attend 

 

 

Your work will be graded on completion and effort, and you’ll receive feedback after submission. If submitting earlier in this "event" timeframe, you will be in Round 1 of grading. Late October-early November, you will be entered into Round 2 of grading. 

 

 

If you have any questions, please contact Madyson Flint, Career Exploration Coordinator for Career Services and US 1100 instructor, at MLS332@txstate.edu. Be sure to leave enough time for a response (typically 2 business days).

Not every concern has an obvious next step. Stop by the Dean of Students Office’s Know Where to Go: Conflict, Questions, and Options table to learn how the Student Ombuds may help students think through concerns, communication challenges, process questions, or conflicts involving campus life.

This drop-in table is designed to help students understand when the Student Ombuds may be a helpful place to start, which types of concerns may be appropriate for an informal consultation, and how students can explore options before a concern becomes more difficult to navigate. Students can stop by to learn about conflict navigation, campus process questions, communication strategies, and how to identify next steps when they are unsure where to go.

Students do not need to have an active conflict to participate. This table is intended to build awareness of informal support options and help students feel more confident navigating campus systems.
