Carol Arias, Director
Greetings! My name is Carol Arias, and I am originally from Costa Rica. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in International Business and a Master’s in Political Science and Government. I have had the privilege of working at Florida Atlantic University since 2017—first in the College of Medicine and most recently as the Assistant Director for Employer and Community Engagement at the Career Center.

My expertise in community engagement and project management has allowed me to create impactful initiatives that drive workforce development and student success.

I was honored to receive the Professional Staff Development Award for the Student Affairs Unit in recognition of my work in employer and community engagement. I have had the opportunity to present at multiple conferences on topics such as career development, soft skills, and large event management techniques.

Additionally, I have proudly served as a Boca Chamber Ambassador, representing FAU and strengthening partnerships within the local business community. I am fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through fitness, gardening, and traveling.
