Name and Claim: Helping Students Own Their Expertise

In this episode of Beyond the Syllabus: Pedagogy and Purpose, I’m joined by my colleague Dr. Mary Jordan, Director of Career Service at Wingate University, to tackle the articulation gap, that challenging space where students’ academic experiences and professional identities connect. This conversation is about building the bridge from the resume to the interview room. We explore how to empower students with professional language that feels authentic to truly own their expertise. Dr. Jordan shares the interconnectivity of faculty and career services in planting the seeds for a 'bouquet' of student success at the end of the academic journey. Whether you are a student service professional, faculty, support coach, or a student looking to "name and claim" your expertise, Dr. Jordan provides actionable "marching orders" to start building your articulation bridge.
