The OPCD is much more than the standard career office. As you will see in the Annual Report, we provide a broad range of educational offerings, resources and experiences for personal, career and professional development. Our work enables students to not only secure internships and jobs, but to learn the competencies and mindsets necessary to thrive throughout their careers and lives.

We encourage our students to start the process as early as first year orientation, and we work with key student influencers: faculty, staff, alumni, employers and parents to provide the

information, tools, environment and connections for our students to learn and succeed. Below are a few notable highlights from the year.

Teamwork truly is the key to our success. The OPCD and the School of Business’ Market Readiness and Employment teams collaborate effectively to provide personal attention, resources, connections and support for all WFU undergraduates and graduate business students. We are thankful to have collegial relationships with faculty and staff in the College, School of Business and across the university. In addition, the backing of our generous donors enabled us to launch the OPCD in 2011 and continue its upward trajectory. Through their gifts and support, we are making a positive difference in the lives of Wake Forest students and alumni – and elevating the brand and reputation of the University.

As you will soon discover in the report, this year has been remarkable and we’re excited for the year ahead. It’s going to be a great one!

With boundless enthusiasm, Andy ChanVice President for Personal & Career Development

I am excited to share the Office of Personal and Career Development’s Annual Report. The 2013-2014 academic year was terrific! We introduced new initiatives, achieved our goals and received national attention.

“The fact that a mentor can invest in me as a person over a long period of time and help me reflect on what I’m doing is far more valuable

than any other kind of education. And it really has permeated my experience at Wake Forest as a student, as an administrator, and as a faculty member. That experience of being a mentor is just in the water here. It’s part of every single relationship that I’ve had at the University.”

their way in the workforce.”

-Abby Proud, Recruiting Coordinator, Abercrombie & Fitch

“For one summer intern position, we reviewed over a hundred resumes and phone interviewed students

from outstanding universities like Wake Forest. It was unanimous that two Wake Forest students stood out among the rest. Their demeanor and

seeking process and it showed.”

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT operates from the premise that all WFU students have the capacity to lead. Its central focus is to build upon the Teacher-Scholar model and liberal arts disciplines. This is achieved by working with and supporting faculty to develop curricular and co-curricular experiences that help students develop their leadership potential. The leadership development process begins by guiding students to build a strong foundation through understanding their emotional intelligence capabilities. Then, more advanced leadership skills are introduced such as influencing, presentations, team building, design thinking, peer coaching and leading high performance teams. It is the vision of the Leadership Development department for all alumni to look back fondly at Wake Forest as the place where they initially learned and developed a core set of leadership skills.
