  • PAGE 2 - AIDP-WCU GAZETTE, MAY 27, 1976 Counseling Q. What type of " counseling advisement placement CENTER Advisement inseling" services will be provided? A. Primary emphasis will be given to day-to-day student problems or concerns. These may include study habits; peer relationships; loneliness; self-concept; male-female relationships; money management; sexual adjustments; marriage counseling; and many others. Psychological counseling and referral services will also be proviaeu. Q. How does a student receive counseling services? A. Students may come to the CAP Center on their own initiative, or they may come on referral by faculty, student development staff, or any other source. Counselors will also meet with individuals or groups in other settings such as residence halls; fraternity and sorority housing; classrooms; University Center; and off-campus retreats. Q. How many counselors will be working in the CAP Center? A. We.will have the equivalent of four or five full-time counselors. More people may actually be involved on a part-time basis. Q. Will there be a "waiting list" for counseling services? A. We hope not. Our objective is to respond to student needs immediately. Q. Will the CAP Center only be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.? A. Our plan is to keep the Center open not only during the day, but in the evenings and on weekends to the extent that it is possible to do so. Q. What is the "advisement" component of CAP? A. This is an effort to coordinate and improve academic advisement for all WCU students. Q. Will all academic advisement be done at the CAP Center? A. No. We will be directly advising two groups of students-entering freshmen and q. |s there any fee for counseling services? undeclared students. Freshmen will ordinarily be advised by CAP until they attain sophomore standing and beyond that point if they have not declared a major. Q. Why will CAP be advising all freshmen? A. Experience shows us that many freshmen are not really sure about their major course of study. In the CAP Center they will have increased access to academic advisers and to counselors who can help them with career and educational planning. Another reason for advising all freshmen is that they generally need more help with advisement than upperclassmen because they are unfamiliar with the institution. Q. What about advisement of undeclared students? A. An increasingly large number of students enter the University undecided about their major course of study. The CAP Center will stress that there is nothing wrong with delaying the decision. Students will be assisted in assessing their interests and abilities and in relating these to their course of study and to their career plans. Q. Who will be advising the freshmen and undeclared students? A. CAP Center will employ interested faculty representing various departments throughout the University. These facultv will work at the CAP Center in nodson Cafeteria. The faculty will be well informed and dedicated to working with students on a one-to-one basis. Q. What other services will the advisement component provide? A. CAP Center will serve as an information and referral center for any student, regardless ot major or class standing, who has a problem or concern related to academic advisement. In other words, if a student does not know where to go for help, he or she can come to the CAP Center. Also, CAPC will work closely with departments and schools in training faculty for advising, updating and improving advisement materials, and studying and recommending changes in policy relating to advisement. Future plans for CAPC include efforts toward establishing a peer-adviser and tutoring program. supported by grant funds and v ♦." i ^lt Placement Q. What is the Career Planning and Placement Office? A. The Office of Career Planning and Placement is one office that a student should become familiar with early in his college career. The traditional concept of this office as the place to go to find a job when one is about to graduate is true, insofar as it goes, but there is a good bit more to it than simply helping soon-to-be graduates find jobs. Q. What services does the Career Planning and Placement Office offer? A. A major function is to assist a student at any class level and in any major with his plans by providing him with information about careers and the chance to explore as many opportunities as possible for finding meaningful and rewarding employment. O. How is this accomplished? A. First there are advisers available to help a student v, choosing and following a career. In addition there is i provides information on hundreds of career options 8re °lZn«"!!i?LiUl"9„ ,he -year ,0 interview representees from Interviews are conducted on campus itary services and from many th any problem he might have in n extensive career library which businesses, industry and governmental agencie also, with representatives from all branches of the r graduate and professional schools, ird, there are job vacancies ir arrangements for interviews a, homelStSn^e m'ie tUZZ?^' ^^ "2 file is established, a comprehensive set of "credent" I L, °"ce a Pe^sonne from the office as par. of the application process ' a"ab'e *"" ™" '" ^ A meeting In the CAP Center at N.C.

Edgar Boone, External Evaluator from Secretaries keep AIDP running Mrs. Mary DeVane and Mrs. Barbara Salisbury were the first secretaries to be appointed to the AIDP Office in August 1975. At the time of their appointment, Mrs. Salisbury was the administrative secretary to the coordinator of the program, Dr. Clifford R. Lovin, and Mrs. DeVane was the secretary to the coordinator for the Community College Transfer Program, Dr. Lawrence H. Arney. Due to limited office space during the planning period, Mrs. Salisbury and Mrs. DeVane worked jointly for the coordinators assigned to the program. These secretaries assisted in the completion of the final approved AIDP plan. In February 1976, the CAP Center component of the program was moved from the office in Bird Building to the office space provided in Dodson Cafeteria. At that time, Darrell Bryant was hired as a receptionist for the CAP Center. Her main responsibilities include determining students' needs, whether counseling, advisement, or placemenl when they come to the Center. She is also responsible for maintaining student records and working with the advisers in scheduling advisement times at the Center. Once the CAP Center was located in Dodson, Mrs. Salisbury became the administrative secretary [continued to page 4] Q. Are there other services offered the student or alumnus? A. Yes.
