and Toyota, and sessions filled up quickly. “The number<br />

<strong>of</strong> students wanting to participate was double that <strong>of</strong> the<br />

interview slots available,” says Carson Center Director<br />

Janel Lang. “We hope to increase the availability <strong>of</strong><br />

these types <strong>of</strong> opportunities in the future to meet student<br />

demand.”<br />

What’s next for the Carson Center<br />

Lang expects that student demand for the Carson<br />

Center will continue to increase, and is taking steps<br />

to ensure that the center’s resources and services will<br />

continue to exceed expectations. Projects on the horizon<br />

for the Carson Center include the development <strong>of</strong> online<br />

workshops to increase efficiency and expand the availability<br />

<strong>of</strong> its services. Together with the WSU Leadership<br />

Center, the Carson Center will present a new workshop<br />

series on leadership, with weekly sessions throughout the<br />

2006–2007 academic year.<br />

“Helping students reach their pr<strong>of</strong>essional goals is one<br />

<strong>of</strong> our central missions,” says Lang. “We will continue<br />

to develop programs to facilitate meaningful interaction<br />

between students and business leaders. This is the key to<br />

showing students the many types <strong>of</strong> opportunities that<br />

exist for them, and showing employers the extremely<br />

high caliber <strong>of</strong> Washington State University business<br />

students.”<br />
