“After I retired a few years ago, I was motivated to document strategies and approaches I found most effective during more than thirty years in college career services,” says Burton Nadler, GED’78, who retired as career services director at the University of Rochester. “During the pandemic, I completed my recently released ICAN Succeed Handbook, and soon-to-be published companion ICAN Succeed Handbook Coach’s Guide. The two publications allowed me to compile all lessons I learned and taught, including those drawn from a Penn GSE career counseling class taken many years past. I also prepared strategies and documents for Zoom sessions that teach ICAN (Internship, Careers, Admissions and Networking) strategies to undergraduates and recent grads. These offerings use ICAN acronym, affirmations, and action-focused techniques to yield desired outcomes.”
