| Abstract: | Students no longer choose a lifelong career; thus, engaging students in career exploration advising when selecting a college major has payoffs for institutions and students. With nearly 40% of students never utilizing campus career development services, bringing career exploration into the classroom is necessary. This article introduces a series of career exploration activities that begin with an engaging icebreaker, then move to an individual assessment focusing on self- and environment exploration, and end with a reflective written assignment. Together, these activities have received positive reviews from more than 2400 students and can be utilized by any faculty member or advisor. |
