The office of Career and Professional Development seeks to ensure that Ursinus graduates are strongly positioned to succeed. To set themselves up for success, students are encouraged to partner with career advisors.
Advisors help students to identify the options that are available, which then enables students to develop a plan for what they will do.
Janet is very excited to be able to work with Ursinus students who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree and career in the medical field or in other health fields. Janet’s personal aims are to guide Ursinus students in navigating the admissions processes for post-baccalaureate, medical/health professions education programs that match each student’s future personal goals. Janet is also making connections for internship opportunities in medical and health-related fields. Full Profile
Michele Poruban
Silver Linings. I try to live all aspects of my life, personal and professional, with the idea that there is hope and something good to be found in every situation, including those moments that challenge and test us. That positive philosophy has helped me to frame my work with students as a career advisor, supporting students and alumni as they navigate their lives and carve their future paths. All of my conversations with students and alumni are anchored to the Core question, “What matters to me?” as we partner to identify goals and set an action plan into motion.
You will hear me say it time and time again, working one-on-one with students is the best part of my day, so I look forward to the opportunity to meet with any UC Bear out there- come and see me! Full Profile
