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 comprise 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 endeavors to assist students and graduates with a successful academic experience.   To help us achieve this goal, we conduct an annual assessment on services or events offered through the office.  This assessment is done as a part of our aim for continuous improvement in offering quality service and events.  The SDCL Assessment Plans and Reports for 2006-07 and 2007-08 are available online.
