Counseling and Career Services was established to aid students in successfully completing<br />

their college work and establishing good foundations for future growth. The<br />

center is staffed by professionally trained counselors who provide a wide range of services<br />

including: short term personal counseling, career assessments and counseling, entrance<br />

advising, new student orientations, compass placement testing, disability<br />

services, etc.<br />

Confidentiality of counseling visits is assured so that students may feel free to discuss<br />

their concerns. Counselors also provide opportunities for students to develop interpersonal<br />

skills and to become more self-actualized using individual counseling, small<br />

group techniques, and/or workshops. Situations which cause students undue concern<br />

may disrupt their interpersonal relations and affect academic achievements. Counseling<br />

and Career Services provides the assistance and atmosphere to work through these<br />

problems.<br />

Counseling and Career Services assists all students interested in exploring career options<br />

and selecting a major field of study. Through the availability of various career resources,<br />

career assessments, and individual advisement, students have the opportunity<br />

to make appropriate career decisions.<br />

It is <strong>Roane</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s goal through the use of a wide variety of resources to give every student<br />

the opportunity to maximize his or her career development potential.<br />

Counseling and Career Services administers career and other available assessments as<br />

requested by the student.<br />
