As you get to know yourself better, you may have to make adjustments in your life situation or move in a totally different direction as you discover new values, interests and abilities. The Department also assists students in adjusting to the demands of college, and in improving their academic and social skills. Professional counselors help students through periods of emotional stress, in gaining self understanding and in becoming more effective in relationships with others. In addition, students in participating majors can receive credit for career related jobs and internships through the Cooperative Education Program. Resource information about careers, employment projections and local employers can be found in the Career Information and Transfer Center in Edison Hall Room 100.
Counselors follow the principle that each individual's problem merits privacy and confidentiality.
Professional counseling ethics are practiced throughout the department. To ensure this right, no information is released without the student's permission. Four options are available for making a counseling visit.
