The Career Development Center is located upstairs in the Student Center, Room

about the uses of education in their careers and life goals. The counselors
provide students with interest and personality inventories, individual
counseling sessions, computer systems and "mini courses" on topics ranging from
resume writing to job interview skills. The CDC further provides assistance in
selection and planning of career paths, choice of majors, development and
improvement of communication and job search skills, and discovery of up-to-date
career/occupational information. As an educational support system, the Center
