Annual Report for Career & Student Educational Centers

Office of Career Development & Student Educational Centers Annual Summary 2010-2011 Academic Year Assuring the students at each Florida Student Educational Center that the Office of Career Development is there for them.

The Purpose and Benefit of Relationship The purpose of the relationship built between the Office of Career Development and the Student Educational Centers is to provide equivalent services to these students although they are not located on the main campus. The Office of Career Development created a graduate assistantship position, Coordinator for Campus Relations for the Student Educational Centers. This position’s sole responsibility is to work with the Student Affairs Coordinators at each site to create programming specific to site, provide marketing materials and one-on-one advisement.

Specific marketing was created for the sites when needed to promote workshops and events. After a collaboration with the Student Affairs Coordinators at the sites, marketing was created so the students “put a face to a name” with their Career Adviser.
