Getting to
Know YOU
Hey Baby! What’s your Type?:
Using the Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator (MBTI) to Explore
Career Options
Through this workshop you will
be given
the
opportunity
to learn
more about
yourself
and how
you
interact
with the
world.
When you
know what
your preferences are for taking
in information, organizing your
environment, making decisions
and interacting with others, you
will be better equipped to plan
for a career. Using your Myers-
Briggs Type, you will be able to
learn about job families and
careers that may suit your

As a part of this semester’s FYE
program, there will be a service
project offered. We will be walking
in the Washington D.C. Walk to
Cure Diabetes, sponsored by
Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation. It will take place on
Sunday, May 2, 2010 and will
start at 10am. There is no

encourage but not required. The
Walk is a 5K (3.1 miles) and will
trace the outside of the stadium
twice, finishing with a final lap on
the warning track of the
field. There will also be free food
and entertainment before and

way to give back to the
community and have fun at the
