2. How We Assist Students

3. Undecided About Your Major?
I was just extended an offer from Cylance (the huge cyber security company I recently interviewed for). This is such a big stepping stone in my career and I wouldn’t have been able to get to this point without you and all the help from the Career Services Office! I wouldn’t have known about these services unless it was for CNED 100. I’m glad I took the class and I just wanted to say thank you for all you’ve done for me!
