abby croft career services managerAn Indiana native, Abby has guided students through their college journey for over 15 years. She arrived at Purdue in 2018 as an academic advisor in the College of Liberal Arts, served as the Assistant Director of Doctoral Programs for the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business, and now brings her passion for CLA students to the CLA Career Services. Abby is focused on ensuring students are empowered with the coaching and tools necessary for fulfilling careers. Outside of the office, Abby is an avid volunteer at national and international sporting events, and enjoys spending time with her dogs, Jersey and Jeter.

Advice to students: It’s never too early or too late to think about planning for your future career. How do you see yourself making an impact in the world utilizing the skills you have now, and those that you develop while you’re here at Purdue? What matters to you? These are questions you can ask yourself to feel more connected to your career journey and make it feel less like a “job” to do.
