Unit Spotlights Leadership & Student Involvement Career Development Services The Office of Leadership and Student Involvement (LSI) fosters student success through campus engagement and experiential learning. With programs, events, student organizations, and leadership opportunities, there is always something to help keep students engaged! LSI has some fun new announcements: • LSI welcomes three new coordinators to the team; Coordinator for Student Organization & Leadership, Coordinator for Greek Life, and Coordinator for Student Activities. • A new sorority, Sigma Sigma Sigma, was added this fall. • LSI will launch service learning in select distance learning courses. • Old Dominion University’s Homecoming 2015 will run October 14–17, and the theme is: ODUnited—Around the World in 85 Years Also, please remember to use the new email [email protected] if you need to reserve academic space, outdoor space, or a room in Webb Center. All room reservations are done via the Event Space Request form on MonarchLink: https://orgsync.com/52027/forms/54715. Career Development Services (formerly Career Management Center) has refreshed its name to reflect our expansion of services and benefits especially for students. The new name more accurately reflects the work Career Development does every day on behalf of our students, partners, and alumni. “CMC” did not reflect the full array of services now offered or the need for early student engagement -- a critical mission of SEES. The name change is significant. Unlike ‘Career Center’ or ‘Career Services’, ‘Career Development’ connotes activity that is not only transactional in nature, but teaches incremental processes. Career counseling and coaching is key to student guidance. We have also added tools for mock interviews, special career content as represented by those in the field, quick career topical spots, and a Got Skills? section. Career Development Services staff see themselves as partners with students, where they listen, guide, counsel and inspire students along their respective journeys, and facilitate their entry into the world outside of ODU through steps, experiences, connections, resources, tools, programs, and reflection. Students will have an expanded array of tools through what CDS offers, to use in their journey of self-discovery, decision making, preparation, gaining experience, and successful career outcomes.
