Career Advocates

And much more!

If you’d like to connect with the Career Advocates, make an appointment with your Career Coach in the CCPD. You don't have contact just one Advocate. Explore different fields. Your Career Coach will provide contact info and walk you through how to connect with them.

Career Advocates provide real, in-person connections that are guiding me into securing internships and mentoring for getting that first job.

Making connections through the career advocate program can help open doors to opportunities that you may not have known existed. These type of connections have made a huge impact for me personally throughout my career. As a career advocate for Centre, I really enjoy helping students as they begin the journey to finding a career pathway that aligns with their interests, talents and passion.

Dr. Abby Winterberg-Hess '05

Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Researcher, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center

I always enjoy the opportunity to lend a hand to a fellow Centre Colonel. I know that I'm going to be connecting someone from my network with a bright, articulate, and thoughtful person. Centre continues to equip students with the same gifts that have stood me in good stead throughout my career. There's just no substitute for strong critical thinking skills grounded in a world view that encourages optimism and service to others.
