While our name has changed, our mission remains the same: connecting the Harding community with career resources, professional opportunities, employers and the tools needed for long-term career success.

Follow along here for:
- Career opportunities & job postings
- Employer events & networking opportunities
- Career tips & resources

From the Career Closet to the camera. We loved seeing so many Bisons use our Career Closet for Headshots with Jeff a couple weeks ago!

We’re working to grow the closet with more sizes, styles and options so there’s something for every Bison who needs it.

Want to help us grow? Check out our Amazon Registry in our bio to donate a piece!

Yesterday, we dedicated the plaque in memory of Brian Harrington, the former executive director of the Center for Professional Excellence, alongside his family, friends and colleagues.
Brian’s vision, leadership and dedication to helping students built the foundation of this center. He was a true champion of everyone who walked through our doors, and his plaque stands as a permanent reminder of the impact he left on our work and the HU community.
