Remember the dread that spread through your high school as soon as the words "caree'r week" were uttered? Well, fear no more because Career Month at Roger Williams University promises to be both informative and interesting. Unlike in high school, there will be no dream-crushing aptitude tests this month. Instead, Career Month is a chance for all students to learn exactly how to be successful after college. "The events have been designed to increase a student's awareness of busi ness etiquette," Susan Caizzi, associate director of the Career Center, said. Throughout the month, there are many worthwhile events. Reality 101 is intended to ''help to provide students with information regarding paying back student loans, finding your passion, interviewing tips from recruiters, and ~------~ much more," Caizzi said.
