greetings from the vice president

GREETINGS FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT

Happy Fall! I hope your school year is off to a great start. We have a busy semester planned in University

Engagement with opportunities for every member of the ISU community. One opportunity that I would like to

share with you is our new, strengthened partnership with Deming Elementary and Sarah Scott Middle Schools.

We will be working with the schools to identify ways that the entire University can support student learning,

increase parent involvement, and provide resources and support to the teachers – many of whom are ISU

graduates. The Bayh College of Education has a long history of serving both of these schools and will be playing a

critical leadership role as we move forward. One simple way that everyone can get involved in this effort

immediately is by participating in the school supply drive that will be held in conjunction with the President’s fall

address. More information is included on page 14.

Another issue that I want to emphasize is career readiness. Incorporating career readiness as a core feature of

every student’s academic experience is the primary focus of Goal 2 of the 2016 strategic plan. Provost Licari and

I convened a working group this summer to discuss a process for achieving this goal in every undergraduate

major and the Foundational Studies program. Thanks to Darlene Hantzis, Brien Smith, John Conant, Linda

Maule, and Bryan Lubic for serving with this group. We will have some ideas and proposals to share with the

campus soon. In the meantime, if you have an idea for incorporating career readiness activities into a class,

student organization, student employment experience, or other activity, please reach out to Bryan Lubic or me.

We have resources available through the Focus Indiana grant to support activities related to career readiness.

Finally, I’d like to thank Darby Scism for her leadership of the Career Center over the past few years. Her

commitment to our students and her colleagues is exemplary. She has done a great job of helping us advance

our strategic goals related to career readiness. I know that our colleagues in Arts and Sciences are thrilled to

have her return to them. Thank you Darby!

Best regards,

Nancy

CAREER SERVICES

Recruit Blue Employer Relations Event, Eiteljorg Museum, Indianapolis - Under the leadership of Teresa Dwyer,

the Career Center Employer Relations team hosted more than two dozen organizations at the Eiteljorg Museum

in Indianapolis in order to establish and develop stronger connections with Indiana State and to extend our

connections outside of Terre Haute. VP Nancy Rogers and Provost Mike Licari attended and gave brief

presentations, sharing our accomplishments, future directions, and inviting future partnership. Feedback was

overwhelmingly positive, resulting in greater interest in recruiting with Indiana State as well as participating

more closely with us to develop impactful programs and meaningful partnerships. Suggestions regarding future

outreach to employers should be directed to Teresa Dwyer in the Career Center.

Student Employment Update - The STATE Works program launched this fall with 120 participants. So far, the

feedback has been very positive. This program is a great opportunity for campus employers to contribute to

professional development and retention of student employees. Questions or concerns about the program

should be directed to Tradara McLaurine in the Career Center.

The Workplace Professional Skills Certificate program is available to student employees again this year. To earn

the certificate, students complete five required and ten elective on-line training modules AND complete a

minimum of 200 hours of work with a campus employer. Now is a great time to get your student employees

working on the certificate. The program will benefit students in their current positions and in their future jobs.

Graduate Student Advisors and Undergraduate Peer Advisors - Darby Scism and Kyle Harris have both hired

and trained graduate student advisors and undergraduate peer advisors, respectively. Following a selection and

training process, the peer advisors advise students and carry out a special project based on their strengths and

the Career Center's needs. These peer advisors will allow the Career Center to serve even more students. Darby

is also continuing advanced training in career coaching, and Kyle has presented staff training on personality

styles and workplace effectiveness. Please contact Darby or Kyle if you are interested in learning more.
