Our North American partner universities deliver exceptional programs and support for their students, focusing on their academic, professional, and social development. Career support plays a significant role in this development, as our universities provide the resources and tools to help students achieve their goals. Recently, four of our partner universities received awards for their career development initiatives.
DePaul University, James Madison University, Lipscomb University, and Western Washington University have been recognized for their excellence in career preparation for their students. In a new announcement by Colleges of Distinction, these partner universities received Career Development badge awards for their focus on the changing job market and the career support they provide to students.
This recognition comes from the universities’ commitment to delivering
- Integrated career exploration
- Accessible programs and training
- Career-centered staff
- Assessments for professional goals
- Employer relations
Colleges of Distinction recognizes these universities for their superior ability to think ahead about how their students will succeed after they graduate.
In addition to this Career Development recognition, DePaul, JMU, Lipscomb, and WWU are listed as Colleges of Distinction for 2020-2021, as are Baylor University and Long Island University. These six North American partner universities received overall distinction awards for excellence that aligns with College of Distinction’s four focus areas: Student Engagement, Teaching, Community, and Outcomes.
