Career Planning/Picking a Major

Many students come to Eastern as undecided majors or simply do not know what types of careers they can obtain with the major that they have chosen.  Career Services provides a variety of tools for students to use when determining the right career field for them.


 

Letters of Recommendation

As a faculty member, you have been called upon many times to write letters of recommendation for students applying for jobs, internships, and graduate school admission, among other things. Due to growing concern over what should and should not be included in a letter of recommendation, we are providing you with helpful resources and guidelines.
