One of the best means of selecting a career is to find out what people in possible careers of interest are doing. What does their job description include? What skills are necessary? What is the most significant aspect of the Wittenberg relative to their career? Do they travel? Who do they interact with professionally? These sorts of questions can be answered by alumni themselves through the Tiger Career Network or by simply culling the information available on campus, in the Career Center or in the respective department or program offices, or online, on the World Wide Web.

Notes
1 - ESP is the Environmental Studies Program. The information for ESP will be housed in Room 112 Science. This is the Geology majors room, but we will use it until we find a place we can call our own. Please do not remove information from this room.

2 - The Environmental Studies Program has subscribed to these resources. These listings arrive either once or twice a month, so periodically check the box in Room 112 in Science for the current listing.
