This workshop will feature three presenters: Professor Sarah Zelikovitz, Professor Ping Shi, and Academic/Career Manager Kristi Brescia. Together, they will share how student success has been redefined through the integration of academic advising and career readiness, strengthened by close collaboration between advisors and faculty. Kristi Brescia will focus on the career-infused degree map, originally developed in the Computer Science Department and the career-connect advising model. Professors Sarah Zelikovitz and Ping Shi will discuss how faculty can embed career readiness within the classroom and advising, offering practical strategies to support students’ academic and career development. Participants will leave with actionable insights for adapting these models to enhance student outcomes in any discipline.
