The Office of Career Development and the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center have moved to the William and Norma Horvitz Administration Building, near other student services and resource offices.
The goal of the move is for student-centric areas to be closer together, making it easier for students to locate the offices. The career center was formerly in the library for eleven years, although it was meant to be temporary.
Diane Klein, assistant director of employer relations and internships, said that the Office of Career Development is now across from the One-Stop-Shop. One of the new features of the office is a multi-purpose room where students can congregate, meet new employers and use computers for research.
Students will still be able to visit the Career Center in the satellite office of the Carl DeSantis Building, but Klein said that President Hanbury wanted to give students a place that makes it easier to find all of the important resources and services that are available to them.
Marikay Concannon, assistant director for the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center, said that one of the benefits of having all the offices in Horvitz is that if there is a complication in one department, staff will be able to escort students to a nearby office. When Academic Advisement was in the Mailman-Hollywood Building, students often had to travel across campus if an issue arose with financial aid or other student services.
There will be signs in the previous locations of Career Development and Academic Advising to remind students where to go, and administration in Horvitz can lead students to the proper office if they need help.
Klein said that the move will encourage the different student service offices to work more closely together to help fulfill the NSU experience for students.
Along with the addition of Career Development and Academic Advising, offices originally located in Horvitz have reorganized to make the various services more apparent to students.
Administration hopes that the changes will encourage students come to the offices earlier in the year and use them more frequently.
