The Career and Transfer Center (CTC) and the Office of Equity Outreach are excited to announce the launch of the Acorn Professional Development Fund, a new opportunity designed to support our students' growth and success! Funds from this new initiative can be used to cover costs associated with student-level memberships in professional organizations, helping students build valuable connections and career readiness. This is a great way for students to connect with their industries early.

Eligible students must be: Currently enrolled, Returning next semester, and Pursuing a certificate or career-focused degree. Funds are limited and awarded first-come, first-served, so encourage students to apply soon! Students can apply here.
