As part of students'

sessions may include: goal setting, college
services and resources to support student sucess;
study skills and test-taking strategies;
academic policies and procedures to be followed;
exploring career opportunities in the major;
developing a sound academic plan; to name just a
few.
The Counselor teaching the seminar is also
available outside of the class time for
individual appointments for academica, career,
or personal counseling services. For more
