We are a highly creative and dedicated team committed to help students build confidence, explore career possibilities, and develop impactful connections. We leverage our relationships within and beyond the Brown community to facilitate meaningful experiences, mentoring connections and partnerships that position students for purposeful work throughout their professional lives.

As part of the College, the Center ensures that student career exploration is aligned with the Open Curriculum and that exploring career possibilities is an integral part of the learning experience for all Brown students. We strive to be a welcoming center that approaches conversations with empathy and respect for each person's individual goals. We prioritize individuality, equity, accessibility and inclusion in all of our work.
