Ph.D. student Melanie Buford and Professor Michael J. Stebleton, OLPD, co-edited (with Michael Sharp) a new publication by Routledge: Mapping the Future of Undergraduate Career Education: Equitable Career Learning, Development, and Preparation in the New World of Work. Buford, a third-year doctoral student in Higher Education, is the lead author.

The edited text explores how research and practice can be integrated to support the changing needs and issues of undergraduate students’ career planning issues. Over 20 combined authors examine how social justice, the pandemic, and trends in the workplace will shape how students view the meaning of work in their lives. The editors contend that preparing students for the future of work is the role of all educators, not solely the efforts of those who work in career services. Learn more here.
