help in choosing a major can walk-in for consultation with a career counselor
on Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m.

Counseling Center Services
Personal/Social Counseling. You don't have to deal
with your problems alone. In a warm and supportive environment, you can meet
with a professional counselor to discuss any concern you may have related to
your personal and social well-being. Among the topics many students discuss in
counseling are self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues,
sex, family problems, and loneliness. You may see a counselor for individual
counseling, couples counseling, or join one of the many counselor-led
support groups. Susquehanna Hall (4th Floor). Call

identifying who you are in relation to a future career. You can get help with
this process in individual career counseling at the University Counseling
Center. Your exploration
may include taking career interest tests and interpreting the results with a
professional counselor or taking advantage of a computerized career information
system. Whether you are choosing a major, establishing career goals, or
considering job opportunities, it is important to understand how your
personality, values, and interests relate to your future professional life.
Career counseling at the Counseling
Center is a good place to
begin. The Majors Walk-in program is available on Wednesdays from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Susquehanna Hall (4th
