Dear Students,

First a special message for our graduating seniors: Congratulations to the CNS Class of 2021! Every year, we ask graduating seniors to report their plans after graduation and share their experiences while in CNS using the College of Natural Sciences Graduation Survey. This year, it has special significance. You and your classmates are in extraordinary circumstances. Be proud of what you have accomplished! And if you need help planning your next step, see below in our "Student Career Community" section for Career Services resources.

Not graduating this semester? Keep building your resume! It is never too soon to start thinking about your next steps, including exploring different career interests and professional opportunities. Get started by exploring helpful resources on our website, updating your resume (did you know you can include class projects?), finding an internship or on-campus job. As a CNS student or grad, you can:

1.
