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:

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.
