Your Best Work

Most of us need a job, and Wake Forest will help you achieve that –

(over the last nine years, an average of 96% of our graduates were employed or attending graduate school within six months of graduation) –

but also much more: we’ll help you find a context in which you may do your best work.

Our Office of Personal and Career Development (OPCD) does this by

• helping you to go through the college-to-career process for credit with a variety of college-to-career courses.
• offering over 400 career-related events for every student in the college-to-career process, from fairs to information sessions to speakers to workshops and more,
• and providing go-to career opportunities with Career Treks, including San Francisco, Washington, D.C., New York City, Atlanta, Boston, and more.

Our task is not to supplant your inner voice – your Muse – but to add to it, to make it both proscriptive and inspirational.

Attuning to that voice within, we will help you say “Yes” to your interests.
