Exploring Your Career Possibilities.

STARS College allows undergraduate students the chance to learn more about the opportunities afforded with careers in student affairs and campus housing. This virtual event features group presentations, interactive sessions, small discussion groups, and faculty mentors.   

STARS College is for undergraduate college students who demonstrate significant interest in campus housing, residence life, and student affairs through their involvement or work experience during their time as an undergraduate.

The STARS College 2026 will take place virtually as a part of Careers in Student Affairs month. Many of the sessions will be held “live” with some content available for participants to review independently before or following some of the sessions. Participants will spend time in large group sessions and time in small learning communities. The learning communities, led by a STARS faculty mentor, are designed to give participants more time to build connections and learn with peers.

Join us October 4, 11, & 18, 2026.
