Rising to challenge, CAILCD follows own advice
by MaryAlice Bitts-Jackson
Aya Sobhy ’21 was on her dream career path. She listened to her academic advisor. She studied hard. She attended Dickinson career-exploration and networking events. She researched internships with help from Dickinson’s Center for Advising, Internships & Lifelong Career Development (CAILCD), beginning in her first year on campus. And with CAILCD s guidance, she served two internships and refined her goals.
Then 2020 happened. And in-person classes, advising appointments, internships and career and networking events were no longer available.
How do you seamlessly support students like Sobhy in the midst of a global pandemic? CAILCD staff followed the advice they’ve long dished out: They researched options. They inventoried skills and acquired new ones. They pivoted as needed. And they found new ways to connect students with critical career-exploration, job-search and networking opportunities.

So in an era when more people are switching careers than ever and, in some cases, doing so several times we asked alumni to show us how it’s done and offer their career-reinvention stories and advice.
