Introductions

Welcome to the Career Connections podcast. I’m your host, Kevin Fullerton,  the Director of Career Development at South Dakota State University.

 

This podcast is a space I’m going to use to explore career development topics. Some of the topics discussed will be specific to South Dakota State University, but I will also have content that will be useful for off campus folks too.  Whether you’re a current SD State student, faculty or staff, alumni, parent of a college student, prospective student or a career development professional, I think you will find these conversations helpful.

 

This episode has a couple of parts. The first portion of the episode will be information about my office specifically, then I will transition to information about my background. A simple yet impactful way for students to explore career paths is to learn from older professionals, and I intend to provide these kinds of insights on this podcast. If you are a higher ed professional- regardless of your title or function on campus- if you work with students, take time to share your background. Students need to hear our stories early and often. People like to pretend that career paths are linear , but I work very hard to normalize reality. Changing majors, and changing jobs is a reality in our economy.
