The Office of Career Services’ mission statement expands the focus of the services provided to students, alumni, faculty, administration, employers, and professional associations. We seek to:

  • promote self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-advocacy through our services.
  • render outstanding service within the framework of the “Community of Respect.”
  • provide leadership to the institution on career development concerns.
  • build and maintain positive relationships with employers, faculty, and statewide career professionals.
  • support institutional outcomes, assessment and relevant research endeavors.

The Office’s mission supports the University’s goals by contributing to “campus resources in partnership with other institutions and agencies to improve the educational, social and economic development of the community.”


The Office of Career Services seeks to be a leading career services center focused on providing non-traditional and professional school students, as well as alumni around the world, with exceptional support during their lifelong process of career development. This vision supports the mission of Mercer University which is to “achieve excellence...in the field of liberal learning and professional knowledge.”
