Envision Your Future Via Hendrix
Seniors are invited to join us on campus on August 7th to learn about Via Hendrix, our signature curriculum guaranteeing all students a full-time, semester-long professional work experience.
Where Curiosity Becomes a Career
When you start college, your possibilities feel almost endless: Should you cultivate your love of the arts? Apply history’s lessons to solve today’s problems? Build a life centered on caring for others? And perhaps the biggest question of all: Once you discover your passion, how can you turn it into a career?
Via Hendrix, you’ll have the freedom to explore your interests, the guidance to choose a path, and the skills you will need to succeed in the real world. You’ll accomplish this through a full-semester co-op experience and four years of personalized advising, with a focus on career from your first days on campus. So whatever your goals, you’ll meet them Via Hendrix.
