Information for Faculty

The Academic & Career Planning Center (ACPC) offers a variety of services to students. Recognizing that one of the largest influences on a student is the faculty, the ACPC can provide you help with becoming familiar with career services and academic advising information, issues, and theories as they relate to your students. There are a number of resources available to faculty (see below) as well as written publications and individual consultations. Please contact us if you would like more information.
