The Lighthouse provides assistance to students and alumni who are considering graduate or professional school. We have information on:

- Attend a Graduate School workshop sponsored by the The Lighthouse.
- Research graduate and professional schools.
- Consult with faculty in the field.
- Consulte with a career counselor in The Lighthouse. Schedule an appointment with Career Development in the Lighthouse at careerdevelopment@vwu.edu.
