KISSINGER ACADEMIC CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE The KACE promotes academic success and excellence by providing a variety of free services for all Anderson University students. The center has individual and group-oriented resources, including self-directed, audio, audio-visual, and computer-assisted instructional support materials. The center focuses on helping all students achieve and/or exceed their academic goals. This assistance may be related to specific courses; to the improvement of skills, including reading, writing, and specific study skill competencies; and to preparing for special exams, such as the Core and Casa. From peer and online tutoring and study groups for virtually all courses to general assistance with reading and study skills, the center staff is eager to help students with their academic goals. In addition, Disability Services for Students is located within the center.

CENTER FOR CAREER AND CALLING The Center for Career and Calling assists students in selecting a major and/or career path based on individual personalities, skills, abilities, and interests. To prepare for a competitive and rapidly changing job market, students may take advantage of one-on-one coaching appointments, résumé reviews, resources for networking and job search strategies, employer information sessions, career fair opportunities, and the Career and Life Planning class (LART 1200) offered the second half of Semester I. Additional information is available at anderson.edu/career. CENTER FOR PUBLIC SERVICE The Center for Public Service (CPS) is a unique honors program for exceptional students preparing for careers in public service. Established in 1972 through a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, CPS helps students prepare for their public service careers through membership in professional organizations, attendance at professional conferences, internships, off-campus study, and connections with public service professionals working in the area of their career interest. CPS Fellows also use the program to develop a public service ethic, increase their awareness of societal needs, and gain firsthand knowledge of their career before graduation. The center’s approach is purposely flexible and individualized. Membership in CPS is highly competitive and based on a comprehensive application process. Students of sophomore standing or above with a GPA of at least 3.40 are eligible to apply. For more information, contact CPS at cps@anderson.edu. CHICAGO CENTER Chicago Center semester and summer programs offer the opportunity for students from all majors to live and learn in Chicago while earning credit toward graduation. Three components comprise the program, including an internship in an urban organization, an independent study project that is related to the internship, and a course on urban issues. Students arrange their individualized program in cooperation with the AU campus liaison and Chicago Center staff. While in Chicago, students live and study with individuals from other small Midwest church-affiliated colleges and universities. The campus liaison is a faculty member from the Department of Social Work, Criminal Justice, and Family Science.
