A four-year plan for career success: The R-MC EDGE

The Randolph-Macon EDGE prepares students for their futures beyond R-MC. The core service of the Center for Personal and Career Development, the EDGE takes a comprehensive approach to educating students about their choices after graduation and assisting them in preparing for those choices.

• Freshmen explore vocational interests and academic programs through self-assessment, the FYE curriculum and unpaid internships and shadowing.
• Sophomores discern their major with further internships and affirm their career passion, assisted by the Center for Personal and Career development's pre-professional coaching staff.
• Juniors galvanize their career pathways by preparing for graduate school or employment applications, and they develop the interpersonal competencies and confidence necessary for upcoming school and job interviews.
• Seniors execute their individualized plans for success.
