The new year presents the perfect opportunity to reflect on your time at UCLA and
think about what you want to achieve by graduation. Here are four activities to
help you establish new goals for 2019 and beyond:
Take inventory of your skills and determine which of
them you want to build upon for the future.
Research careers of interest and measure those careers against your list of preferred
skills.
Find a volunteer opportunity or internship in a field
or industry that interests you.
Identify
UCLA alumni with whom you'd like to set up informational interviews (UCLA ONE and LinkedIn are great tools
for this).
Take advantage of that energy you're bringing back to campus and get started on
one of these activities this week! You never know where it might take you.
