Passionate career services veteran ready to meet campus needs
Diava Carter may be new to Indiana University Northwest but career services has been her calling for as long as she can remember.
“Many people would say it’s a gift,” said Carter, the university’s new Director of Career Services. “My joy and passion is definitely with the students. My joy and passion is helping others, it’s allowing others to see their potential and see what could be next for them.”
While Carter is only a few months into her position, she’s already seen a want — and need — from students to have someone assisting them in achieving their professional goals.
For the last 15 years, Carter has worked in career services at the United States Department of Labor, higher education in admissions and elsewhere before accepting her position at IU Northwest.
Now, the Gary native is excited to return to her hometown to help develop students in Northwest Indiana and beyond.
