Students complete Career Development Program

Nearly 120 Bumpers College students are members of the UA Professional Development Institute, and 10 graduated from the PDI Career Development Training Program in November.

The Institute, now in its second year, is designed to prepare students for life after graduation with training on professionalism and how to present themselves to potential employers or as candidates for graduate school. It includes career-building workshops, guest speakers and activities sponsored by the UA Career Development Center.

Students from all UA colleges are invited to participate as PDI members. Those who attend a specified number of workshops and meet other requirements receive certificates at an annual PDI graduation program and other incentives.

Details are available online at http://www.career.uark.edu/students/pdi.asp

Students who received certificates at the PDI graduation program in November were: Corrie Adams, Apparel Studies; Krystalyn Bolding, Interior Design; Casey Clippinger, Interior Design; Keiana Hunter, Interior Design; Mary Morrison, Dietetics; Amara Perumalla, Poultry Science; Leila Pollard, Interior Design; Kaci Schack, Human Development/Family Sciences; Marty Smith, Human Environmental Sciences; and Mikelle Thompson, Interior Design.
