Our goal in Student Affairs is to help maintain and promote a community of scholars where each of us has the opportunity to develop our potential and explore our talents and interests in and out of the classroom. The philosophy of the department of athletics reflects the central themes of the College, emphasizing student self-development, individual decision making as it affects the quality of life, and an appreciation of values, moral choice and responsibility. This office will help identify your skills, abilities, interests, values and goals and relate them to a specific major or occupation. Students are encouraged to take advantage of all career services early in their academic career so they may plan such activities as internships or summer jobs. The Center and coordinators are great resources for discussing the opportunities available to match your schedule and interests.
Most activities require only one to two hours a week and transportation is usually provided.
The staff is committed to helping students find sites and experiences in their community that are enjoyable and educational, and where their talent and commitment are needed. Community Service Coordinators present workshops on individual ways to tackle societal problems like hunger, providing new housing and illiteracy. Presentations may be scheduled for your organization, agency, or classroom by contacting Laurel Shanaman or the Community Service Center. The Center is committed to helping everyone fulfill their community service aspirations. Please do not hesitate calling.
