The first year on campus can come with many surprises, and sometimes students need a little help to make it through the next four crucial years.

Lebanon Valley College offers students a multitude of resources that may be unknown unless stumbled upon. Whether a student is seeking a job, fun weekend activity or some healthcare, the College has these needs covered.

“Throughout my freshman year, I learned of a lot of offices on campus that I didn’t really know much about,” Maddie Martin, a junior biochemistry and molecular biology major, said. “Now,I don’t have to question where to request my transcript or who to go to for help building my résumé and cover letter.”

Students use these resources to better themselves, their résumés and education. Some of the most popular offices can be found in the Center for Student Engagement suite in the Allan W. Mund College Center. Offices including Residential Life, Student Activities, Student Affairs, Student Engagement, Intercultural Affairs and Student Government are all located in one common area.

Another popular location on campus is the Registrar’s Office. It is extremely important for tasks beyond scheduling classes and figuring out academic conflicts. The Registrar’s Office on the first floor of Humanities also provides all of the necessary paperwork for internship enrollment and independent studies. Additionally, if a student is seeking his or her transcript, the Registrar’s Office is the place to go.

“Now that I’m heading into my senior year, I know I’m interested in furthering my education at the graduate level,” Marleigh Palmer, senior early childhood education and special education major, said. “From my graduation plans to transcript requests, I have gotten to know the Registrar’s Office and website fairly well, which makes this whole process a lot easier.”

Another important office is the Center for Career Development. This office is located in the Lebegern Learning Commons in Mund. Students have the ability to access jobs and internships as well as pursue interview opportunities.

The services offered include résumé and letter reviews, graduate school guidance, major exploration and selection, job and internship listings.

These are just a few of the places that will help new and old students find answers. It’s always encouraged to reach out and ask for help, mostly so no one ends up in the Center for Career Development trying to find out how to join student government.
