CONCURRENT  SESSIONS  2:  11:30  AM  -­‐  12:30  PM    Career  Readiness  for  Global  Citizens:  Identifying  Strengths,  Communicating  with  Employers,  Thriving  in  the  US  job  market    Rhonda  Sarmento,  Senior  Career  Specialist  Nicholas  School  of  the  Environment      With  the  increase  in  hiring  and  enrollment  of  international  students  in  US  universities,  it  is  imperative  that  career  services  rethinks  how  we  serve  these  global  citizens.  At  Duke  University  alone,  there  are  students  representing  over  80  different  countries,  many  from  cultures  that  discourage  individuality.  This  can  leave  international  students  at  a  disadvantage  as  the  US  job  search  favors  those  who  embrace  and  highlight  their  individual  strengths  and  accomplishments.  Through  the  use  of  the  StrengthsFinder  assessment,  the  Nicholas  School  of  the  Environment  created  a  specialized  program  to  help  international  students  celebrate  their  strengths  and  become  US  career  search  ready.  Come  to  this  session  to  learn  how  you  can  adapt  this  program  to  your  international  student  population  and  help  the  students  increase  their  confidence,  identify  their  strengths,  and  learn  the  techniques  necessary  to  land  a  US  job.    Speaking  for  Yourself:  Helping  Students  Translate  Global  and  Civic  Engagement  for  Future  Careers    Sarah  Russell,  Ph.D.,  Director  of  Academic  Engagement,  Global  and  Civic  Opportunities    Heather  Settle,  Ph.D.,  Director  of  Academic  Engagement,  Global  and  Civic  Opportunities    Duke  Academic  Advising  Center    Duke  provides  a  wide  array  of  global  and  civic  opportunities,  and  students  are  increasingly  encouraged  to  take  advantage  of  these  experiences  for  both  their  personal  and  professional  value.  Yet  students  often  believe  their  transcripts  speak  for  themselves—study  abroad  in  London,  DukeEngage  in  Uganda,  say—and  are  unable  to  explain  why  they  chose  those  particular  experiences  and  what  they  learned  from  them.  Advising  can  play  a  key  role  in  helping  students  make  connections,  tell  their  stories,  and  imagine  a  future  career  path  in  which  global  and  civic  engagement  become  a  part  of  their  professional  identities.  In  this  session,  we  will  describe  two  undergraduate  advising  initiatives.  One,  a  social  network  analysis,  reveals  how  student  participants  move  through  global  and  civic  programs  at  Duke,  dramatizing  the  multiplicity  and  fluidity  of  these  programs  and  the  importance  of  guiding  students  in  becoming  articulate  about  their  choices.  The  second,  a  dinner  series,  brings  students  together  with  Duke  alumni  who  have  incorporated  significant  global  and  civic  engagement  into  their  careers  to  talk  about  how  undergraduate  experiences,  both  curricular  and  co-­‐curricular,  can  influence  non-­‐linear  and  satisfying  future  career  paths.    Improving  Team  Dynamics  through  Style  Switching  Paige  Vinson,  Assistant  Director    Lisa  Giragosian,  Associate  Director  Duke  International  House  (IHouse)    How  we  communicate  as  a  member  of  a  diverse  team  has  an  obvious  impact  on  our  work.  In  this  session,  participants  will  learn  about  two  aspects  of  communication:  attached  vs.  detached  and  direct  vs.  indirect.  Participants  will  spend  time  analyzing  and  reflecting  on  their  particular  style.  In  addition,  there  will  be  an  opportunity  to  practice  the  alternative  style(s)  as  a  means  to  gain  empathy  and  ultimately  improve  intercultural  communication.
