Life After College

A one-stop shop for all Bennies and Johnnies need to know once they graduate CSB+SJU.

Your education doesn't stop when you graduate.

(In fact, we strongly encourage lifelong learning!)

From taking a course on LinkedIn Learning, to podcasts to tune into, to Instagram accounts to follow, there are numerous (free) ways to continue learning after you leave the halls of CSB+SJU.

Ideas to get you started:

  • Practice a new language on Duolingo

  • Pick up a new hobby (PRO TIP: Scour YouTube for tips & tricks!)
  • Sign up for a Master Class membership
  • Purchase a class from The Great Courses
  • Be inspired by a Ted Talks speaker
