Happy New Year!
Within the last few months, our membership has grown from 90 to over 120 members. Welcome, new members!
Welcome from UCS Interim Executive Director Dr. Tierney Bates
I am excited to be here at UNC Chapel Hill to offer a great world class UCS department to our students, I work along some dedicated and stellar staff that are focused on your ability to be career ready. I look forward to our spring semester and the many opportunities that students, faculty, and staff will have to participate with UCS and brand the work we do in making sure our students have all the tools and competencies in and outside of the classroom to succeed. As I tell many students, if you have not been by the office, please stop by Hanes Hall and see us. We want all students to have used our services multiple times and by the time they graduate, you either graduate with a job in hand or off to graduate school is our goal. Find the career you have passion and love for and you will never work a day in your life!
