Services

Career Development Center

Preparation for life after college should begin soon after setting foot on campus. Those students who have not yet established future goals will find Career Development staff eager to guide them through the process of discovery and exploration. Those students who do have a career path in mind will find individualized facilitation of their continued planning, as well as assistance with searching and preparing for experiential learning opportunities (internships, part-time jobs), graduate/professional school programs, and post-graduate employment. The design of the new Career Development Center in Glendening Hall enables students to work alongside their peers and consult with professional staff as they explore extensive print and online resources and develop and refine resumes, applications, and other materials.

The mission of the Office of Residence Life is to support the academic mission of the College by facilitating safe, supportive, and civil living-and-learning communities that are conducive to sleeping, studying, and socializing. Residence Life staff serve and educate the residents and mentor students to become leaders and good citizens.

The staff in the Office of Residence Life manages the day-to-day operations of student housing. The department works to improve the quality of life in campus residence halls, suites, apartments, and townhouses and to promote personal development through community living experiences. The office, through its student staff of residence hall coordinators and resident assistants, can address a variety of concerns, ranging from roommate difficulties to the physical condition of the room. The staff also provides residents with a wide range of social, recreational, educational, and cultural programs to enrich their residential experience. Administrative functions, such as housing assignments, coordinating the after-hours “On-Call Professional” (OCP) system, managing openings and closings, and dealing with a variety of emergencies are also handled by Residence Life.
