Professional Organizations and Networking

Joining Professional Organizations can provide opportunities for mentoring, professional development, networking, and other resources.

As an HWM student, you may receive guidance related to professional organizations, networking tips, and attending conferences. Check out the following clip for some recommendations from Advisory Board experts.

Gaining Experience

Begin with the end in mind. It is never too early to consider creative ways to build your professional portfolio and gain experience in the Health & Wellness Management industry. There are many opportunities to participate in throughout your academic journey to immediately apply newly gained knowledge, strengthen existing transferrable skills, and develop new areas of proficiency. During your time in the program, you will participate in a capstone fieldwork experience, and you’ll have access to resources related to internships and volunteer opportunities. Check out the following clip to learn more about how to gain relevant experience from industry experts.

Preparing for Graduation & Commencement Information

Once you have identified positions of interest, it is time to start the application process. As an HWM student, you will have access to tips for increasing your likelihood of landing your dream job. Some of the resources include information on writing a cover letter, tailoring your resume, and interview etiquette.

Health and Wellness Certifications

As students learn more about the field of health and wellness management, many express interest in supplementing their degree program with additional certifications and opportunities. As a student in the program, you will have access to a list of resources to continue to expand your education and stay at the forefront of the health and wellness industry.

Meet Your Success Coach

Stacy Tinholt

The support students receive during their education journey can have a huge impact on their academic success. When I started my career in higher education and realized the impact the right information and guidance can make for students with pursuing their career goals, it ignited a passion in me. Adult learners have so many responsibilities that they balance as students, so I find it very rewarding when I can help them navigate solutions and encourage them to stay on track.
