  • Strong Interest Inventory (SII)—This tool identifies your interests and provides possible career options you can investigate. Students, if you are  interested in completing the SII, you should visit the Career Center and meet with a staff member during on call hours. After your completed inventory has been scored, a staff member will interpret your profile and give you a personalized 9-page report. Alumni need to schedule appointments with the alumni counselor to complete the assessment and for a follow-up interpretation.
