Goodbye PACE

I knew this day would come, but it still hurts to say. Tomorow is my last day as an intern at Centra PACE. It’s been an incredible four months, and I have learned so much from every department there. I imagine saying goodbye to the participants will be especially difficult, even though I have told them in advance.

I would like to say thank you to the wonderful staff at Farmville PACE, who made me feel like a member of the team from the very beginning. I appreciate for taking my thoughts into consideration and helping me initiate my own goals with participants. I am especially grateful to my supervisors who empowered mean provided me with so much guidance. I think i am most grateful to the participants, who always kept my days interesting provided me with much needed experience. While I am sad to be leaving, I am also glad to have had this wonderful experience.

Luncheon Report

Back in March, I attended a luncheon held by the Social Work department. The luncheon was meant to show appreciation to internship supervisors of the juniors and senior level interns. A few people, myself included, gave speeches about our experiences so far. Our supervisors were so happy to hear praise from faculty members and their interns. It’s been a great experience working with PACE, and I hope my next internship will be just as rewarding.

Reimagined Career Success Center takes a holistic, supportive approach to preparing students for career success

Misha Wiley ’25 (left) and Gavin Burns ’27 look through the “merchandise” in Longwood’s new professional clothes closet for students.

From students’ point of view, the new professional clothes closet seemed to be the highlight of the grand opening earlier this month of Longwood’s reimagined and newly named Center for Career Success.

Free and open to all students, the professional clothes closet is stocked with a wide assortment of new or gently used career apparel, including suits, dress shirts, dresses, slacks, skirts, ties and shoes. Students can select five items each semester—and they get to keep them as a permanent part of their wardrobe to wear for job or internship interviews or to participate in an internship or work-based learning experience.

The closet is just one initiative supported by $200,000 in grants awarded recently to the new Center for Career Success, whose mission is to give students the skills and experiences they need to be successful after they graduate.

At the grand opening, students gave the “merchandise” in the closet a big thumbs-up, and they were excited that they would be able to keep what they selected.

“It actually looks like a nice store—not what I expected at all,” said Misha Wiley ’25, a business/management and accounting major from Roanoke. He planned to come back as soon as the closet was officially open to “put together a full professional outfit” that he could wear during his summer internship with Walker-Phillips Healthcare Consulting in Roanoke.

Visiting the closet with Wiley was Gavin Burns ’27, a business/management major also from Roanoke. “This is a great addition,” he said, adding, “I really like that tie.”

Funds from the $200,000 in grants also will be used to help make it financially possible for students to participate in internships, providing stipends for travel, housing and other living expenses, as well as to support alumni networking, job shadowing, career advising, job fairs and résumé building.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read more about the many ways the Center for Career Success can help prepare your student for their future career and encourage them to take full advantage of the programs the center offers.
