Career Services - Sterling May

"I was too afraid to go to career services as a

student. It sounded like I needed to have my life

together before I met with them, but the truth is that

you don't. You can come in and say, 'I really have

no idea what I'm doing with my life,' and we'll say,

'Great, let's talk!'" - Sterling May
