CHD Center

This morning I took a stroll down to Franklin Hall to visit the Center for Human Development, or CHD located on the second floor of the building. The Center for Human Development is designed to help inform and counsel students to enhance their understanding and practices in career, academic or personal growth areas. They may also provide assistance when it comes to job searches, internships and the molding of career paths. The center offers, advising, counseling, testing, career services, job and internship resources, and graduate school resources, faculty is very helpful in guiding students toward their preferred courses of action while offering support. The Center for Human Development may also administer tests that are necessary in advancing one's education suh as the PRAXIS and the MAT, they also may provide students with practice tests and study guides from the campus Career Library. Another plus of the CHD Is their Counseling Services. This allows students to have one on one meetings with an on-campus counselor who may heed and direct students who are having a difficult time with practically anything, from alcohol/ drug abuse to stress and anxiety. The CHD has many different services in order to accommodate students of any year. I have yet to tap into any resources that the CHD has to offer but I have contacted the Office of Academic Support here on campus. I found their assistance to be extremely helpful.
When looking around the CHD Office I noticed many pamphlets of information that were avaliable. This information had a wide range of concerns or interests students may have. From its many testing services to its career services events calendar. The Center of Human Development is like a staples, "that was easy" button on Jump-starting a Career and Obtaining Useful tools to help with the process. The CHD and its many advantages is an excellent, reliable source of tips and advice that will help ambitious students remain on track.

When I asked Judy Burdick what her favorite aspect about working at the Center of Human Development was she quickly responded, "The Students". The fact the not only do they do an excellent job at providing information but they enjoy allocating students with their chosen careers or interests. The Center for Human Development provides a place where students may access helpful assistance, information and services to further themselves as life long learners.
