Justin Morris and Robin Huston, both of the University of Oklahoma, share how their team is implementing Career Everywhere and building a career ecosystem across campus and beyond.
In the episode, they discuss:
- How they built a three-year strategic plan for the career center to implement Career Everywhere
- How they secured high-level buy-in from university leadership to drive the Career Everywhere initiative forward
- How they secured budget to nearly double the career center staff and create roles focused on data analysis, events, advising, and experiential learning
- How they deploy a "roadshow" approach, where career center staff proactively build one-on-one relationships with faculty, staff, and administrators across campus to integrate career into their work
- Their annual Career Everywhere symposium that gathers stakeholders and facilitates collaboration around embedding career into curriculum and campus life
- Establishing a Career Champions program to recognize and support faculty and staff who are integrating career into their work with students
- And more
Robin and Justin’s goal is to create a self-sustaining career ecosystem where career development is seamlessly woven throughout the student experience, rather than siloed in the career center. This approach aims to improve access and equity in career preparation for all OU students.
