Can you take us through the vision for making career development a central pillar of the university's entire strategy? How did you align president, provost and senior leadership around the idea that career preparation is an institutional priority?

Absolutely.

So ensuring our students are graduate or graduate career ready is basically a central part of what we now call our Onward Promise.

So Onward invites every incoming student, so starting with this class of 2030, to claim the best of what John Carroll has to offer.

So that means coordinated team advising, alumni mentoring, transformational experiences like internships and research, a personal plan and a four year structured career advising and professional development program we're calling Onward to Launch.

So like any major university initiative, Onward didn't just fall out of the sky.

It was many years in the making and it kind of pulled from a lot of different sources.

So what did it take to get leadership to support that change and that transition and to completely reimagine those roles? So how do you expect this hybrid shift to sort of transform the first year student experience?
