Hi, I'm Mary F. Sweeney, Career Counselor extraordinaire!

Mary Sweeney's Bio:

As a Career Counselor at Boise State University, my role is to educate, prepare, and support students at various stages of their career development. My approach is to meet students where they are in this process through self-knowledge exploration, research, decision making, and job preparation. I am dedicated to helping students find their purpose and passion. In addition, I am the liaison to the College of Health Sciences and First Year Students. Throughout the year I go into classrooms and conduct presentations or workshops to assist students regarding services the Career Center offers. I also support other offices on campus to promote involvement between departments. Whether students are trying to decide on a major or need help with their LinkedIn profile, I am here to help! Our office is focused on student success and preparing them for a future in a career they love. Stop in!
