Spring 2026 events:
The goal of Mock Interview events is to help students gain interviewing experience by meeting either face-to-face or on Zoom with real employers. During the interview, employers will provide students with feedback on their resume, interview responses and overall impression. We encourage employers to use their own interview format to make mock interviews as close to a real interview as possible.
Typically, each mock interview session is approximately 30 minutes, which allows:
You may attend more than one mock interview day and receive credit towards the Career Pathing Program for those you attend.

Date and Time:

Tuesday, Mar. 10 - 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Wednesday, April 15 - 2:30-5 p.m.
Location: Student Union Boardroom
Length: 2.5 Hours (In addition to a one-hour online Training Camp)
*MUST complete both the online Training Camp and in-person training session.
Wellness Services offers C.A.L.M. in Crisis, a training program designed to assist the campus community with identifying students with mental health concerns. The training is available for all employees and students at Northwest.
The course is organized around the acronym:
C - Create awareness
A - Ask questions
L - Learn resources
M - Manage your wellness
While counseling services are key to helping support our students with mental health needs, our campus community plays a critical role in overall student wellness. Because of the increasing prevalence of mental health struggles, student success is being increasingly affected. The purpose of C.A.L.M. in Crisis is to build skills across our campus community (students, faculty, and staff). The training focuses on improving awareness of the risk factors and warning signs for suicide, how to recognize and respond when they occur, when/how to refer to available resources, ways in which to offer hope, and the importance of managing personal wellness throughout the process. Participation in the training is how we can help align our various roles on campus to bring evidence-based interventions to our ongoing support of student wellbeing.
Content includes a brief overview of mental health problems on college campuses, discussion about stigma and culture, and an overview of signs associated with mental health problems. The remainder of the course is focused on how to effectively respond with basic listening and empathy, risk assessment, support, referral, and taking care of self (including appropriate boundaries based on role or personal preference).
This session counts as three Career Pathing sessions.
