Relocation Takes a Bold Step into the Future! T he Career Services Department (CSD) has relocated to the Stevens Student Center and is enjoying the new facilities and opportunities afforded as a result. The new office triples the size of the former and now features an interview room, video conferencing facilities, and 18 flat-screen computers. This new location is just one example of how CSD is branching out to meet the needs of students. For example, CSD expanded to state and national levels as they hosted the Ohio Criminal Justice Fair on October 20 and the conference for the National Christian College Coalition of Career Services on November 9-11. In an attempt to increase student services, the office doubled the number of student workers, created new methods of follow-up, and launched a new marketing campaign featuring the successes of both alumni and current students. The 2000-2001 series of Career Link Days kicked off with a record 23 companies in attendance for the Engineering, Math, and Science Day. CSD is glad to offer the following services for students, employers, and alumni: • Pastoral search assistance • Graduate school assistance • Career counseling • Job postings online • Internship opportunities • Full-time employment opportunities See details online at www.cedarville.edu/dept/cpp or call toll free at 1-888-JOB4U11. Training Communicators for Christ: 2001 Policy Debate Institute A t Cedarville University’s Policy Debate Institute, we train high school students not only for interscholastic debate competition, but also to compete in the world of ideas and to express arguments in a winsome and convincing manner. As part of our mission, we also seek to equip Christian communicators so that they are able to present a message in such a way that a wider public might accept it. We offer opportunities for those with the truth of Christ to learn to develop a message that can compete in the marketplace of ideas. By attending the June 2001 Institute, high school students can • Choose to earn up to five hours of academic credit. • Learn debate theory at an individualized level of experience. • Practice debate skills and improve public speaking skills. • Make friends in a supportive Christian environment. • Work with the nationally-ranked Cedarville debate team and coach. • Develop research files and cases for the current year’s topic that are ready for competition.
