The Career Center’s goal for freshmen is to prepare students for a productive, professional life after graduation. The goal for the sophomore will be to begin formalizing a career plan based on assessments from previous year. The goal for the junior will be to apply to opportunities, prepare writing samples, and conduct interviews for graduate school and other opportunities. The goal for seniors is to secure a post graduate opportunity with employment or graduate school admission.

Residence Life:

Four of the six residence halls are being prepared for use this fall. Chandler Hall, Hunter Hall, Kentucky Hall, and Young Hall will be used as the primary residence halls while McCullin Hall will be used as an overflow residence hall for special housing accommodations during breaks and other requests. Arrangements have been made for CG Concepts to renovate the common areas in the residence halls deemed to house the new students. In August, students assigned on-campus housing must retrieve clearance to gain access to the residence hall via their ID card. Beginning June 15, 2016, the fall 2016 housing assignments were emailed to new students via their campus e-mail address.

Living Learning Community:

All new students will be housed in Living Learning Community residence halls: Chandler Hall (females) and Hunter Hall (males). In addition, Young Hall will house the STEM and Whitney Young Honors Program students. These residence halls include a classroom(s)/lounge and may accommodate ADA needs.

Fall 2016 Freshman Week (August 13-20, 2016) activities, the 2016-2017 Convocation schedule, and campus-wide events and programs were shared.
