Returning to CC
Welcome back to CC from your off-campus study experience(s)!
Here are several useful handouts that we have put together in conjunction with the Career Center at CC, to address the common questions that students may ask: How can I feature what I have learned on a resume or in an interview? How can I find a way to go abroad again? What about working, teaching, volunteering, or grad school?
We hope these resources are helpful.
