Share Your Resilience Story

After the successful Learn by Failing wall event at Kennedy Library in winter quarter, Career Services wants to continue raising awareness of learning from setbacks and challenges so we can build a community of resilience at Cal Poly. We are promoting it with #CPResilienceStory and by a weekly giveaway for students who share their stories with us through April 27th. The giveaway is via our Facebook page, Cal Poly SLO Career Services, and happens at the end of each week. We want students to see that challenges are a normal part of life and one’s career journey, and to celebrate the positive outcomes they can lead to.
