4. If the student repeats the behavior, the student will be permanently removed from the<br />

clinical/student teaching setting and suffer the academic consequences. Faculty involved in<br />

MAIL BOXES FOR NURSING STUDENTS<br />

These mailboxes are located on the fifth floor of the ALT Building and should be checked regularly.<br />

CAREER SERVICES CENTER (ALT 315-316)<br />

The Career Services Center (CSC) helps freshmen through graduate level students and alumni prepare<br />

for the job market. Individual career counseling, resume/cover letter preparation, interviewing, job search<br />

advice, and reference file services are available. The purpose of a reference file is to provide possible<br />

employers or educational institutions with information about your qualifications. Junior and senior<br />

students should begin to collect letters of reference from their professors. In addition to nursing faculty<br />

members, nursing students should request recommendations from professors of other disciplines with<br />

whom they have studied. A variety of references provides a broader perspective and allows for possible<br />

changes in career focus.<br />

Job related classroom workshops, on/off campus career/job fairs, and a job search reference library keep<br />

students updated on career trends. Internet access provides students/alumni with valuable job-related<br />

assistance.<br />

A professional networking program connects students with alumni working in their field of interest. Other<br />

services include current scholarship and graduate school information, current full and part time job<br />

listings, and an on campus part time student employment program.<br />
