丁香园AV

Book a chat with a Career Advisor. We offer free personalized career guidance to students from all disciplines, available at any 丁香园AV campus or remotely via Zoom. Book through MyExperience and write "Changemaker Program" under "Additional Information" when you make your appointment. 

Attend a career workshop hosted by 丁香园AV Career and Volunteer Services, including those offered as part of your classes.

Volunteer for at least 2 hours (within the past 2 semesters). This includes any volunteering within or beyond 丁香园AV, it just needs to be a role that you aren't already using towards CCR recognition.

Attend any career- or Changemaker-related event that helps you explore your future possibilities or engage with an issue you care about (including career fairs, employer info sessions, student-organized events, research events, etc.). If it meets that criterion, it counts! Below are just a few ideas, and we'll add to this list over the semester.
