It’s officially career fair season! We had so much fun Wednesday at the Construction, Safety, Engineering, and Design Technology Career Fair! We can't wait to see you again!

Long Description:
A W.I.S.E. Coach walks outside as a fall-themed audio plays. The audio says, “It’s officially fall, and when the leaves start to turn, we know it’s officially time for Bee’s birthday.” The on-screen text changes the ending to read, “We know it’s time for career fairs!” At the end of the video, the W.I.S.E. Coach turns around and looks at the camera.

Come say hi (Ward Edwards 1200), meet the team, and see what the Career & Life Design Center can do for you this semester!

Long Description: A short video introduces the UCM
Career & Life Design Center team for Fall 2026. Team members take turns appearing on screen, smiling, posing, and interacting with one another inside the center. On-screen text identifies different team members and areas of the center, including W.I.S.E. Coaches and the Professional Clothing Studio.
The video uses quick transitions and upbeat movements to introduce the team in a fun and welcoming way.
