Webster University Career Planning & Development Center

Happy Summer Gorloks!
We had such an amazing year of programming and appointments at the Career Planning and Development Center.
Thanks for joining us on-campus, virtually, and through social media.
We are so thankful and excited for all the Webster students who decided to better themselves this year through appointments in our office, on Handshake, virtually, or even just reading through a few resources we offer.
Scroll through to see our year in numbers and how far our impact spreads!

Happy Graduation Gorloks!
Congratulations from the CPDC on all of your hard work!
Here is the CPDC's Graduation checklist:
- Complete the graduate outcomes survey sent to your Webster email.
- Update your email on Handshake from your Webster email to personal so you can still have access to your account.
- Celebrate all you have accomplished!

As of May 1st, 2026, there will be a pause in career services due to a staffing transition. Please note that there will not be career coaching appointments or any staff available to answer questions after this time. The Handshake resume review process is suspended to not prevent any student applications from submitting to employers. Stay tuned for future updates.

Find resources on a variety of career topics available on our Connections page. A selection of past programming has been recorded and is viewable on the CPDC YouTube channel. Handshake will continue to be a functioning resource during this time and Handshake help articles can be accessed on our Linktree and Connections page.

The Career Planning and Development Center Career Champion Award is an opportunity to celebrate Webster University employees who are committed to the success of Webster students by supporting their career development during the 2025-2026 academic year.
