Career
Counseling
It
is especially useful to have a counseling appointment early in
your academic career to help make the most of your time at Stanford.
Counselors can help you understand yourself, focus on what’s most
important to you, act as a sounding board/resource/idea generator,
and coach you in staying on track.
To
schedule an appointment with a Career Counselor, Peer Counselor,
or Student Business Advisor you must first register with the Career
Development Center
