Beginning Winter 2015, the Career Center is excited to offer
two classes (General Studies 297H & 391G) each winter and
spring, designed to meet the needs of undergraduate students seeking
information and inspiration about career options and strategy. We
encourage you to review these class overviews, quotes from
students who have taken our classes in previous quarters, and most
importantly (if you are a student), consider taking one of our classes
during your time at UW.
