If you are have graduated within the last two years and need help with your next step please give Karen Morash a call at 902-420-5761, drop in to see her on the 4th floor of the Student Centre or e-mail her at career.services@smu.ca to see how they can help you.  You can also drop the Career Services website atwww.smu.ca/career to view their many services and resources.
