Personal and Career Development
is Mission-Critical
• Problem: “… young people have been
defining success and choosing careers with
less attention to larger questions of meaning
and purpose” (“Wellsprings of Responsibility” article, 3/12/2009)
• President Hatch reiterates the issues and
voices support at every opportunity
• WFU Faculty are Teacher-Scholars who
value mentoring and are committed to student
success on campus and in career/life
• Vice President for Personal and Career
Development reports to Provost and
President; member of President’s Cabinet
