We want to hear from you

Success stories are social media posts, articles, or one-minute videos highlighting students' professional successes and the Career Center resources that helped them succeed.

A success is loosely defined and isn't limited to acquiring a job or internship. If you have a story to share, use our form or email us at ccsuccessstory@american.edu.
