WWU’s Academic Advising and Student Achievement is now Academic Advising and Career Readiness

On July 22, WWU’s Academic Affairs division announced that Career Services has merged with the Academic Advising and Student Achievement Center to become Academic Advising and Career Readiness.

“While career services remains an important part of the work, career readiness encompasses the broader process of exploration through life after graduation” said Director of Academic Advising and Career Readiness, Meagan Bryson. 

AACR’s new structure will augment current academic advising, which aids students in achieving academic success, retention, graduation preparation, post graduation academic pathways and career readiness.

 AACR will be hiring for three currently vacant positions to support this mission. These positions will reinforce the work already being done to prepare students for graduation and beyond and will allow for the AACR to best serve the Western student body.

 Under its new title, AACR will continue the services students have received from Career Services — career fairs, the career closet, drop-in career workshops, resume and cover letter reviews, and career information sessions.

 An updated list of services and events will be available on the AARC’s website prior to the start of Fall Quarter.
