We invite you to join us on May 20th at 12PM (ET) for Episode 4 of Industry Insights - Randy Bitting’s new webinar series. In this episode, Randy hosts the career services legend, Andy Ceperley. Andy is a former President of NACE, and author of Tone Setters in the Academy: How to Build an Inspired Life as a University Administrator, a book offering an inside look into leadership and culture within Higher Education. In this session, Andy will apply his understanding of institutional dynamics to the critical discussion of Career Readiness.

Andy will share his perspective on how the principles of effective leadership and positive institutional culture, as discussed in his book, can be leveraged to enhance students' career readiness. This conversation will explore how to "set the tone" for a campus-wide commitment to student success beyond graduation.

This event will cover:

  • Andy analyzes the 2025 career readiness landscape through the lens of academic culture.
  • Key considerations for developing impactful career readiness initiatives, guided by the principles of Tone Setters in the Academy.
  • Strategies for cultivating buy-in and support from faculty and leadership, drawing on Andy's prior success with navigating institutional dynamics.
  • Essential skills that career services leaders should possess to be "the ultimate connectors" and "community builders” on their campuses.
