Celebrating 10 Years: University leads career development into next decade

January 30, 2020

Wake Forest has established itself as a national leader in personal and career development with its Rethinking Success conference in 2012 and the crowdsourced publication “A Roadmap to Success.” The Office of Personal and Career Development (OPCD) has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times Magazine, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed and dozens of other outlets over the years.

Ten years later, Wake Forest is still paving the way in prepping students for careers after graduation with a new “Ready7” path that begins with self-awareness and ends with graduates leading an authentic and meaningful life.

From orientation to graduation and beyond, the OPCD team, faculty, staff, student-athlete development, recruiters, alumni and parents help students build skills that will keep them nimble in the future, no matter what the national or international economic landscape, says Andy Chan, vice president for innovation and career development.
