There is also a faculty advisory system each incoming first-year student is assigned a faculty adviser who is available for assistance. When services of a specialist are required, students may obtain assistance from the Counseling and Consultation Services, the Office of Student Financial Aid, or the Student Health Center. Special topic programs and workshops ranging from stress management to resume writing and interviewing skills are made available by faculty to students throughout the year in response to interest and needs. Faculty members as well as the assistant director are available to give career guidance to students. Students also have access to a variety of printed materials on graduate study and career options through the director s office as well as through the postings on the Placement Bulletin Board.
Dental hygiene receives numerous requests from employers for baccalaureate dental hygienists.
Annual Career Days, involving on-campus visits by representatives of health care agencies from Ohio and elsewhere, provide students with an excellent opportunity to explore employment possibilities. A member of the director s staff also serves on the University Career Services Committee for the purpose of coordination and sharing of information with other colleges and departments. Return to top of page Orientation Transfer students who are required to take placement tests are given those tests during an orientation program the summer before they enroll in dental hygiene. The tests are scored and the results interpreted to the student, who then meets with a dental hygiene counselor to complete scheduling for the Autumn Quarter. All entering students to dental hygiene are expected to participate in orientation programs designed to introduce them to the curriculum and to resources they will use in their studies.
