This section highlights two primary services that we offer, with suggestions for how you may refer a student to our office. Students often benefit from individual meetings with our staff, and we offer several ways to do that. Career advising is available every week day, for several hours a day. Career counseling is available in half-hour and one hour appointments, to discuss individual career needs in a private setting. Many of these programs are sponsored with academic units.
Programs tend to be informal in nature, usually with no pre-registration required.
A full listing of programs for the current semester is available on our on-line program brochure . It is often a responsibility of faculty, graduate student instructors and staff to provide students with reference letters to support their admission to graduate and professional schools as well as for employment. This guide has been written to familiarize you with the potential legal issues related to reference letters and to offer tips to make the process easier. It addresses some of the more common concerns we have heard expressed by veteran and novice reference providers, outlines some practical tips for letter writing, and offers an overview of important reference issues. We also share some of the graduate school and employer perspective regarding what they seek in a letter of reference.
