In an effort to integrate the Career Center into student's daily lives and provide a more user-friendly and welcoming environment for students and employers, the Career Center is relocating from the Academic Services Building to the Carl M. Hill Student Center Suite 320. The Office of Student Life will be located in the Student Government Association suite. Relocation and facility update plans are in process.
There have been several staffing changes. The Student Handbook is being revised to reflect a process aligned with the Office of Student Affairs' organizational structure. The updated Student Handbook will be ready by August 15, 2016.
Student Affairs has acquired the following digital resources, which will be implemented by the start of the Fall 2016 semester. These tools will assist with tracking student data, measuring outcomes and student involvement, increasing communication between offices, and facilitating employer networking. One of the products is Symplicity, which will be a resume builder, student tracking system, credentials manager, and campaign manager.
