Our Philosophy

UNC TIBBS views career and professional development holistically and emphasizes development of the whole person, across personal, career, and academic goals. Based on this philosophy, we support a number of community building programs under the career development umbrella – you can read more about them below! We also partner with our IMSD community to offer career development workshops that address the experiences of all members of our community.
