    As we all take a short break, please remember that the CSO welcomes your questions. Schedule an appointment through Symplicity. If you cannot find a time that works for you, then email Jen Moore at jdm368@drexel.edu to request assistance. We are grateful to be in positions to help you achieve your career and personal goals.

    Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to contact your network (former professors, colleagues, family and friends) to say “Happy Thanksgiving! I’m wishing you the best and thinking of you.” You can briefly share how your fall semester is going and reflect on what’s ahead. No asks, simply a chance to connect.
