Meet Your Team

Junior Delgado presently serves as the Director of the Career Center at Westfield State University (MA) and has been in that role since 2009. As a first-generation college graduate and bilingual speaker, (English/Spanish), he has worked in higher education for over 20 years in career services and a short time in Admissions. He has been focused on serving student populations to achieve their goals over the course of his career.

Junior is presently serving as the President of the Eastern Association of Colleges and Employers (EACE): an organization dedicated to connecting career counseling professionals with the employer community. Additionally, over the last nine years he has served as the Executive Chair/President to the Massachusetts Educational Recruiting Consortium (MERC); an organization that facilitates hiring in Education.

As a first-generation college student, I had a limited understanding of the various career pathways available to me. I knew about the occupations that I had been exposed to (such as nursing and teaching) and entered college as a nursing student. My journey to career counseling was not a direct path, but once I learned about the field, I knew this was where I wanted to be.

My passion is helping students get connected to the right opportunities to find their life’s passion. If you have an opportunity for a student or a recent graduate, I’d love to connect you with the right candidate!

Go Owls!
