This is the fifth part of a series where we highlight part of the academic transition your student might be experiencing and questions you can ask your student to help support them through this transition.

Winter quarter is a great time for your student to start getting involved on campus outside of the classroom if they haven’t already. Co-curricular activities complement the learning that students are attaining in the classroom by allowing them to practice and apply what they are learning. It is also a great way for your student to build skills and find community. UC Davis is an enormous campus, and getting involved in clubs, groups, or other activities can help make the campus feel smaller, have a more personalized experience and make it easier to connect with other students with similar interests.
The best New Year resolutions include a mixture of practical plans and personal self-knowledge. Finding a career is no different! Here at the Internship and Career Center we have advice and resources so that students can pursue career goals that satisfy the work and you.
