Hello Class of 2015!
I hope that you all have enjoyed your summer break! Back in May I challenged you to do something outside your comfort zone, something you wouldn't "normally" do. Have you accomplished this? If not it isn't too late. more>>

"Welcome to a new semester! College is a unique experience that gets started over and over and over again until you finally arrive at your graduation day. You have the chance to learn, grow and even make mistakes that will add value to your experience in so many ways that will actually make you a much better person at graduation." So begins a brief but stimulating article from The Huffington Post titled "The 5 New Semester Resolutions Every College Student Needs." Check it out! And check out the ways we at Counseling Services can help you make the most of this semester and year.

Welcome to Sophomore College!
This year, one of your tasks will be to declare your major. While some of your peers are fortunate to know what they want to declare, you may not be so comfortable with your decision or maybe you are still undecided. One of Career Services cornerstone advising areas is helping students understand their academic interests and practical skills through career assessment. Does this sound like it could benefit you? The more you know about yourself, the better equipped you'll be to make a decision when declaring a major. Every month, Career Services hosts numerous programs and events. Stop by and talk to a career professional. Attend our workshops and information sessions and be open to direction. more>>

Please join the University in congratulating Dr. Raphael Moffett, who has accepted the position as Vice President for Student Affairs at Langston University, a historically black college and university (HBCU) in north central Oklahoma. Though Dr. Moffett was not seeking a change, several Student Affairs professionals nationally recommended him as a rising leader in higher education. Dr. Moffett's last day will be August 23. We will miss him but also wish him the best.

Please join
the University in congratulating Ben
Newhouse, who has accepted the position as Dean of Students at Birmingham-Southern College. Recently the BSC
staff learned what we already know: Ben is a terrific professional and an
exceptional man and role model. Ben has aspired to a Dean of Students position
and has worked hard toward this opportunity. They will be lucky to have him at
BSC. He will get us through NSO before his departure in early September. We
wish him the best.
