Does Your GPA Matter? (Issue 6)
 |
It's about that time of year. Assignments are piling up, students are ready for a break, and the end of the semester is quickly approaching. Keeping those grades up is a motivator for some students, but it is often a stress for others. So how much does GPA really affect you in the long run?

Don't Lie on Your Resume
 |
Almost everyday we get students in the Career Center that need assistance on resumes. Resumes are vital for landing jobs and internships, both of which Wabash men are very interested in. I found this article about “inflated” details in resumes. Although resumes are marketing tools that you can use to showcase your abilities, be careful of |
| crossing the line between using crafty language and not telling the truth. | |
Interview with Reed Birney '72
 |
KW: What was your career path after Wabash? RB: After graduating in ’72 with a degree in Political Science and no acceptance letters from law schools, I came back home to Amherst, Massachusetts. My dad, a college professor, had some surplus money left over earmarked for my education and he basically |
| told me, “Do whatever you want with it.” I took the money and went to the local airport to apply for flying lessons. | |

Fall Break New York Trip

Over fall break, a group 12 students went to New York City to network with Wabash Alumni. This article, written by Josh Owens '07, gives a really thorough description of the trip and shows how beneficial this trip is for Wabash students. |
New York Trip Experiences
|
"Over the course of two days I learned a lot about what it would take to live, work, and succeed in the world’s greatest city. I not only had the opportunity to meet and chat with several major players in a variety of industries but also the chance to see some of the world’s biggest companies up-close." |
Article on Networking (Issue 4)
 |
While looking for some articles on networking, I came across this one at StarTribune.com. The article offers some tips that will help develop networking skills, as well as links to more useful articles. What really caught my attention was this quote: "At least 60 percent of all jobs – Wall Street Journal reported as high as 95 percent - are found by networking." |
Career Facts (Issue 4)
 |
The Career Center has created guides that we refer to as Career Facts that offer advice to students in many career-related endeavors. You can find these in hard-copies at the Career Center or online at the Career Center webpage. In the spirit of networking, here is the Career Fact guide "Networking Like A Champ." |

Computer Science
 |
I have read a couple of articles recently on the resurgence of internet entrepreneurship and the popularity of the sites that are established. Computers and their applications are an integral part of our lives as students. We depend on them to do our class-work as well as to connect us with other people across the world. Sometimes, we take for granted the usefulness of the machine we so often sit in front of. Even more, we may take for granted its abilities and what we can do with computers in our world. |

Experiences at Chicago Networking Event
 |
On Sunday October 1, 2006 a group of Wabash students huddled up in 5 vans at 9:45 a.m. and drove to downtown Chicago. The Chicago Networking Event provided students the opportunity to meet and mingle with Wabash alumni in different career fields. A noteworthy quote from Brian Flanigan: “Treat [your career development process] like a class because it’s just as, if not more, important than a class at Wabash.” |

Social Networks on the Web
 |
I found this article while doing research on the recent concern students have that employers are gaining too much access into their personal lives. Social networks on the web have become a part of the daily lives of young men and women around the world, but these sites could cause problems down the road, especially for college grads. |
