Students at Scripps College, the Women’s College of The Claremont Colleges, graduate and go into careers in the arts, service, media, science, health, and business. But how do they get there?

Beyond the Elms is a career blog managed by Career Planning & Resources at Scripps that is written entirely by students with occasional guest posts by recent alumnae of the College. They bravely share stories of their personal journey through choosing their major, finding internships, interviewing for jobs, and starting their first professional position—subjects that aren’t always easy to talk about when you don’t yet have everything figured out.

If you’re a Scripps student, or any college student, we hope that you find some comfort and familiarity in these stories and invite you to comment and share your own experience. If you have passed this stage in your life, we hope that you take the time to share your own experiences with our writers through comments and share this blog with others.

Scripps students can visit Career Planning & Resources for help through their own personal journey. Learn more about us here and be sure to follow us on Facebook.
