BCO Column: Now What?

By Special Columnist Chaz Kyser

THE BLACK COLLEGIAN is pleased to introduce Chaz Kyser, editor, public speaker, journalism instructor at Langston University, and author of the book, Embracing the Real World: The Black Woman’s Guide to Life After College.

Dedicated to the idea that "the real world—the working world—is not to be feared, put off or ignored; it should be embraced," Ms. Kyser's column aims to provide practical guidance especially -- but not exclusively -- to young women who are recent graduates facing the transition from school to the world of work. However, her columns also contain valuable tips and reminders for those of all ages, genders and backgrounds who are already working and looking to advance in their careers.
