The foundation of navigating a fulfilling and successful career path is understanding more about yourself—your values, interests, personality and skills—your VIPS.

These reflective documents are designed to help you to articulate some of your personal VIPS. Follow up with a career counselor for a more comprehensive discussion on how to incorporate your VIPS into your search for a major, internship or career.
