McKendree University’s Student Affairs Department is excited to announce that October is “National Careers in Student Affairs Month.”

Student affairs professionals enjoy making an impact in the lives of students,” said Jennifer Pickerell, director of career services. “We are able to connect with students from all backgrounds and areas of study to assist them in getting engaged in student life on campus.”

“At this event you will find out more about this month’s informational series, along with who we are and why we love our profession,” Pickerell said. “You may have never thought about Student Affairs as a career, but during this month you will discover various paths you can take in this area.”
