The Career Resource Center

Purpose and Mission

The Career Resource Center’s Mission: To support students and alumni as they make life-long career decisions and pursue meaningful work, while promoting environmentally and socially responsible careers.

The Career Resource Center, affectionately known as the “CRC” on campus, contains a wealth of resources and services to guide and prepare students for professional career opportunities during their college years and upon graduation. The CRC is just one of the many student services Sterling College provides its students in preparation for life-long careers as a stewards of the environment. These services are always available to alumni.

The CRC provides students with the training, resources, and coaching necessary for life-long career management:

  • First-year students learn self-assessment, job search skills, and acquisition skills as they search for environmentally-oriented internships that meets their individual learning objectives.
  • Second-year students experience on-the-job training during their internships. Upon returning to campus, students acquire professional presentation skills as they actively reflect on their working experiences.
  • Seniors participate in reflective Senior Exit Interviews and are then offered a variety of workshops and individual services for implementing post-graduation objectives.
  • This process experientially teaches our students the skills and personal exploration techniques they need to make decisions throughout their careers.

Location: The CRC is on the second floor of Dunbar Hall, conveniently located above the Dining Hall. The CRC houses the Career Library, the Internship Program, a Computer Lab, and the Work Program.

Staff: Working with students individually, as well as in the classroom, the CRC staff provides instruction and resources for obtaining internships, summer and permanent jobs, and further education. The staff creates an atmosphere that inspires professionalism, optimism, and creativity, and engages students in career exploration in one-on-one settings. The center is staffed by the Director, Jennifer Payne, and Sydney Flowers '01 , the Assistant Director. Please feel free to contact them with any questions.
