Students report feeling as if they are moving into an apartment rather than a residence hall, a feeling enhanced by a welcome basket provided to each unit by the complex's builders. The College intends to have four to six more garden apartment units in place at the beginning of the next academic year. Electronic Job Search Offered This fall, the Career Center made available to students a web-based electronic job search service that promises to make getting that first job a little easier. From researching career options and finding a job to reading about the latest workplace trends, students can have access to career services anywhere, any time. Students can access a database of companies in a particular field and obtain job and internship information.
Employers can submit specific data about their job offerings.
Students may upload resumes so employers can contact them about available positions. In addition, alumni or parents seeking employees, interns or volunteers can post available positions online. Magazine, the system's third component, is a quarterly magazine offering career advice for young professionals. Dr. Linda Cades, Director of Career Development, considers the new system a wonderful tool to assist students and alumni with their career searches. The Career Development staff will continue to meet personally with students, but this system, available 24 hours every day, accommodates even the most hectic student schedule.
