Mission
In late Fall, 2003, a team of career center directors from selected benchmark universities was asked to conduct a comprehensive review of our Career
Center and its programs. That review, along with the concerns expressed in the Vision*Focus*Action document, yielded a number of key recommendations that suggested a new and more effective position for the career center. These experts used the latest standards from the National
Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) as the basis for their recommendations and encouraged us to seek wide input, both on and off campus, as we began the work of revamping the career center and its programs.
This document represents a thumbnail sketch of the scope and direction of the anticipated changes in the career center. In early September 2004, we met with employers, a select group of undergraduate and graduate students, and alumni, and in early October we met with members of the administration, academic deans, and faculty in order to create a partnership of all the interested parties who could help in the process of building a premier Career Development Center for students, faculty, alumni and employers.
University of Louisville students will have the support of a premier, comprehensive career development center that will set new standards in service provision, linkages with academic units, and access the innovative career information and job placement technologies. Students will be expertly prepared to competently manage the career development process and be best prepared to compete in this global society.
The mission of the new University of Louisville Career Development
Center is to provide a comprehensive set of services and programs that support the educational process by providing students and alumni with the career decision-making skills, learning experiences, resources, information and technologies that will assist them in their academic endeavors and prepare them for meaningful and fulfilling careers. The CDC will establish effective linkages with the academic units, local state and national employers, and governmental units that will serve their interest in educating, recruiting and supporting our students, graduates and alumni.

Director.

Beginning in the Fall 2004, the Career Development Center went through a transition from its present configuration to one that would be more in line with the changing needs of our students and the local and state employment environment. As part of this transition, an interim service delivery strategy was implemented that allowed us to continue to serve our primary constituencies – students, alumni, employers and the University of Louisville community.
In order to allow time to plan for the structuring of expanded career services and the development of new state-of-the-art program, and to address budget challenges in the short-run, some services were relocated to other offices and some services were temporarily suspended during this transition period.

CARDS in the Community is collaboration between the Leadership
Louisville Center and the U of L. This is the first of its kind with the
Leadership Louisville Center. This was possible through meeting with the Center’s leadership, and then finding money through a grant proposal to the Provosts Office.
A $20,000 grant from the Provost’s office was awarded to the Campus
Life Office for the “Cardinals in the Community” program. In Fall 2005
34 students, the Coordinator for Student Leadership Programs, and the

Coordinator for Civic Engagement of the McConnell Center participated in “Focus Louisville” two and a half day retreats. The first two days of Focus Louisville included a series of interactive presentations and tours featuring top city, corporate and community leaders. These decision-makers shared their experiences, views and expertise on important community issues. On the last day, program participants shared with one another their observations from the previous two days.
 The first U of L LeaderShape© Institute is being planned for the summer of 2007. Five students and one staff member were sent summer of 2005 to build support and awareness of the institute. Those students, in addition to a student from summer 2004 have joined to form the LeaderShape© Planning
Team. This team started meeting in the early spring to map out the first U of L institute.
