Steering Committee

Career Pathways is led by a program director and governed by a Steering Committee.  The Steering Committee includes faculty and student representatives from the different academic colleges, and other university organizations such as the Graduate School, Career Development Services, and the Strome Entrepreneurial Center.  Representatives from Norfolk State University also serve on the Steering Committee.  Several graduate students are on the Steering Committee, ensuring that the student perspective is represented.  If you are interested in serving on the Steering Committee, contact Wie Yusuf, Director, Career Pathways Program and Steering Committee Chair.
