The Career and Transfer Center has found a new home in Fountain Hall.

Fountain Hall’s classrooms will soon be moved into the new academic center currently under construction near the library, and Fountain Hall will become the main student service offices.

The Career and Transfer Center is the first department to move from the Administration building to Fountain Hall, according to Career Education Specialist Karen DuBois, who said she is excited for the move.

“We want to be here at the new hub of student services,” said DuBois. “It’s all in the future, but we, the pioneers, are here now.”

This will be the second time that Fountain Hall, the former library, has been renovated.

The old library was renamed Fountain Hall and opened for classes in Fall 2007.

The spacious Transfer Center offers students the opportunity to obtain information on jobs and transferring. Catalogs from many colleges and universities line the center’s bookshelves, which are packed with job fliers on top.

The brochures range from job opportunities with the Coast Guard to opportunities at Six Flags. A plethora of flyers are available which detail the transfer process as well. Career and Transfer Center coordinator, Judi Gould, says that the relocation of the center was not only in the bricks-and-mortar fashion, as the center is now able to post jobs and internships online. Gould also has new plans for the center.

“We are in the process of having a transfer honor wall, to celebrate transferring students,” said Gould. “We will also be holding a Transfer Social on May 2.”

Gould and DuBois encourage students to stop by at the new center, which opened March 23. They said that anyone is more than welcome to use the center’s computers, and that they can help students find a job.

The center is located in Fountain Hall 110, and it is open from 8 a.m. through 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays. Different hours will apply during the summer semester.
