Introducing Our Student Career Navigators!

Two students (one male and one female) stand in business professional attire next to a Career Management Center banner. They are both positioning their hands to look like little CSU rams.

If you’re struggling with an assignment for a class and need help, who do you go to first? Probably a classmate, right? (Assuming you’ve been lucky enough to make friends with someone in that class).

If you’re at a football game and you need to know where the Dip’n’Dots are, who do you ask first? Your buds, right? Maybe one of them saw those little ice cream dots on their way in!

If you’re struggling with your resume, job search, career direction (or anything else career-related), who’s your unintimidating go-to for getting connected with resources? Our Student Career Navigators, Maximus and Kalena!

We hired Maximus and Kalena to connect College of Business students and the Career Management Center (CMC). Their goal is to help their peers learn what resources exist in the CMC and learn how to access those. They’re trained on lots of career basics but more importantly are very well-versed with the ways the CMC can support their peers.

Need a friendly face to tell hear your career question and direct you how to get it answered? Maximus and Kalena are your people! Plus, they’re just lovely humans. Maximus plays guitar, skateboards, and is secretly hilarious. Kalena sings like a bird, loves mochi ice cream, and is probably the sweetest person you’ll meet this month. Say hi to them in your classes or in the hall in the coming weeks!
