<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 />
