Pam Zuckerman

  • Coordinator of Career Advising Connections

"SUNY ADK has a wonderful diverse student body nestled in the foothills of the Adirondacks. As the career expert, I counsel, coach and mentor students and alumni regarding their career and professional goals. I utilize a variety of career assessment tools such as FOCUS 2 and the MBTI, to further empower students to understand more about themselves and how their unique skills and interests can be matched to specific occupations/careers in the global marketplace. I enjoy collaborating with Student Success advisors, as well as faculty to develop strategic plans to incorporate into the career exploration process. It is my goal to have every student graduate with deliverables such as a resume, LinkedIn profile, interviewing skills, etc., to ensure career success."
