-: A lot of seniors
if they think they want
to go to grad school maybe work with our program.
We'll bring them
into the office just to see what we're doing,
They can see what an outreach counselor does.
We have outreach counselors that meet with students weekly.
What they talk about,
what kind of resources do they use,
what kind of resources do they recommend to students?
How do we involve learning services in with our program?
How do we involve health services in our programs?
We have students that are athletes.
How do we keep them on track,
as well as, playing their sports and stuff like that.
You have students that are involved
with different clubs and organizations.
How do we teach them how to balance that stuff?
That's where they can learn stuff like that.
How do we talk to our students?
We always try to treat people the way you want
to be treated,
even language.
When they come into our office,
we don't want you to speak in a manner that we don't speak.
Sometimes, it's hard.
Sometimes, we're like hey I corrected you three times.
Next time you're outta here,
but different things like that they can just learn
and pick up some of the things that we do in our office.
Sometimes you're not only helping that student out,
you have to develop more of a social work background
when you're an educator.
Sometimes that's where your psychology classes kick in
and stuff like that.
Sometimes you feel
like you're a shrink sitting there talking.
So I think you need to develop in those areas
being like a social work or some kind of psychologist
because that all aids
in how successful our students are going to be.
