Year Two: Exploration
The second year of the Salve Compass is all about career development fundamentals - identifying your strengths, developing the skills you need for personal and professional success, and discovering how your contributions might make a difference in the world.
Sophomore Studio is so valuable because it opens your eyes to things you really need to know at just the right stage of your professional development.

Sophomore Studio
Modeled as a professional conference weekend, this one-credit course is a series of engaging workshops and sessions. You’ll dive deep into resume building, interviewing, networking and professional meetings and even get a professional headshot. You can explore graduate school and job search processes, how to find internships, fellowships and research opportunities while you network with career coaches, faculty, alumni and employer representatives throughout the weekend.
Career Odyssey Plan
Recalling the "My Three Salves" project from first year, you’ll use design thinking to create a plan that bridges where you are now to the career you want, identifying milestones, skills, network connections and opportunities that can help get you there.
