Did you know the IDEA Center offers assistance to students with their resumes, LinkedIn profiles and cover letters? These three items are very important in preparation for applying to jobs and internships.

You can make an appointment on Handshake with Wade Witherspoon, the employee relations manager, or Karis Lee, the career coach intern, to get assistance.

Witherspoon is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. He can also meet at other times based on a student’s request (you can email him at wwitherspoon@georgefox.edu).

Lee is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., as well as Fridays from 10 to 11 a.m. You can contact her at klee19@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) is here to help students with writing, study skills, test-taking strategies, time management, and more. Here’s what you can do to help your students get off to a strong start this semester:

• Talk about the ARC during your classes (before major papers are due)
• Recommend academic coaching as a way to get support with accountability, time management, study skills, and more
• Consider requiring a visit to the ARC for one of your papers. If you are requiring a visit, please email Hannah Jackson (hjackson@georgefox.edu) to make sure the ARC schedule and consultants are prepared to meet your students’ needs.

The ARC will be offering an in-class visit with an ARC consultant for a five-minute presentation about the ARC to answer your students’ questions.

If you have any questions or are interested in having an ARC consultant visit your class, contact Hannah Jackson at hjackson@georgefox.edu.
