November is National Career Development Month and SHSU Career Services is celebrating by hosting their annual “What’s Your Story?” week. The series begins on Nov. 19 and ends Nov. 21, with different panelists from five different career paths speaking daily.

The event is set up so that students taking UNIV 1301 can attend in order to get credit for class, but everyone is welcome. All are invited to go listen to the panelists, regardless of their major and learn about other careers.

Moderators for the panel are members of the SHSU student-led public relations firm, Priority One.

“In each of these five events, students will have the opportunity to hear professionals describe their own paths from college to career.  They are relatable and real in talking about the challenges they faced as well as their successes,” Career Services Director Pam Laughlin said.
