MISSION
The Office of Career
Services supports the mission of the IU Kokomo campus by providing “high touch” customer service that delivers a variety of resources to assist students in attaining their education and professional goals. These services range in delivery from meeting one-on-one with students to interactive workshops and classroom presentations.
In addition, the Office of Career Services, along with Office of Student Activities, the Office of
Campus Climate, and LIttle Learners Child Care Center make up the
department of Student Development and Campus Life (SDCL). The mission of SDCL is dedicated to the personal and
professional growth and development of the students of Indiana
University Kokomo. Our department is committed to complementing the
mission and commitments of IU Kokomo. Educational attainment is done
by creating out-of-class practical learning opportunities for
students.
As professionals, each member of the student development team
will:
- Provide excellent support services that remove barriers to
personal development, student learning and student matriculation.
- Challenge and support students in the process of student
development.
- Develop a challenging and comprehensive co-curriculum.
- Assist students in the development of leadership skills in
preparation for life-long service.
- Promote an understanding and appreciation of diversity.
As a part of the Student Development and
Campus Life (SDCL) department, the Office of Career Services works
hard to assist our students and graduates with a successful academic
experience. To help us achieve this goal, we conduct an
annual assessment on a service or event offered through the office.
This assessment is done as a part of our aim for continuous
improvement in offering quality functions and events.
The SDCL Assessment Plans and Reports for 2006 -07 and 2007 -
08 are available online.
