New career counselor Vivian Lutian in CCI for CCE
Courtney Hunter
Staff Writer
Vivian Lutian used to be an adult student.
Now she's offering counseling services
to adult students as the first-ever career coun
selor devoted exclusively to the CCE popula
tion.
Lutian is available to help CCE students find
their career path through individual counseling,
career-interest testing, and workshops such as
"How to Conduct a Successful Job Search."
Books about career choices and graduate
schools are also available.
Both Lutian and the staff agree that some of
the most important offerings of the Career
Center are the two career fairs held each year.
The first one is Nov. 18 and the staff encour
ages seniors to get resumes into the center so
interviews can be set up ahead of time.
Bill Stevens, Dean of Continuing Education,
said that a career counselor devoted to CCE
students is needed because traditional stu
dents have different challenges than adult stu
dents. "CCE students are almost exclusively
coming back to college and in most cases are
making a sacrifice to come back to college and
working [it] into their existing life." The differ
ence in lifestyles reflects a need for the two
kinds of counseling now available.
Irene Harrington, center director, said, "The

thing concrete" as a basis.
However, not all faculty
members are as excited about
this aspect of the plan, and
questions linger.

In recent years there have
been concerns about a stu
dent's ability and right to voice
their opinion so that it is heard
by the "administration" here at
Guilford College. At times stu
dents in our community have
felt ignored and even alienated
as they tried to voice their con
cern over issues that affect our
daily lives. It is for this very
reason that we have a recog
nized body of students on
campus who voluntarily steps
forward to make sure students'
voices are heard. This body is
called Community Senate.
Career and Community Center is excited to
welcome a new career counselor dedicated to
the CCE population. We encourage all CCE
students to touch base with us, especially to
find out what resources are available for our
CCE population."
Lutian remembers juggling motherhood and
academics at the same time. "I know firsthand
how difficult it is to do this and yet I also know
how meaningful it was to me to accomplish it."
She has a long history with Guilford, begin
ning in 1982 teaching ESL and Adult
Transitions.
In 1994, with three other women, Lutian cre
ated the Women's Resource Center, a non
profit organization to help women improve their
lives. The building burned down six months
after the center began, leading Lutian and the
other women involved to rebuild the center.
Lutian then returned to Guilford.
In addition to serving as the CCE Career
Counselor, Lutian continues to teach Adult
Transitions.
The Career and Counseling Center is locat
ed on the lower lever of Founders hall and is
open 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, and 8:30 a.m. - 7:00
p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. Making her serv
ices even more accessible, Lutian will also be
in Hendricks hall Monday evenings, 5:00 p.m. -
7:00 p.m. 3€
Wayman asked, "How do we
define real world?" She
queried whether students
must find real-world applica
tions for their work or if they
can create and explore for the
sake of satisfying curiosity.
With over 40 senators,
Community Senate is charged
with representing the 1,400
traditional students at Guilford,
about 35 students for every
senator; count the overlap and
its closer to 50. Those familiar
with the consensus model may
identify with the difficulty in
agreeing on anything in large
groups. Nonetheless these
tireless individuals go forth
everyday gathering information
from their constituency (you)
Representing groups ranging
from a dozen to a couple hun
dred, these men and women
vocalize the concerns of val
ued sectors of our community.
They, in essence, are your
voice, and speaking on behalf
of 1,400 people really isn't the
easiest or most relaxing of
things.
Yes, their plight is truly dire.

The Strategic and Long
Range Planning committee
revised the planning docu
ment in light of such con
cerns, leading to the faculty's
approval. The plan now goes
to the Board of Trustees.
But, there is a way to support
these brave men and women
in our midst, a way to raise up
these individuals that work so
diligently to ensure your voice
is heard. Let's make Friday's
Hug a Senator Day. When you
see your senators walking
around campus, take two min
utes out of your day to show
them that you care. A hug can
go a long way in showing your
appreciation. While you're at it,
don't hesitate to throw a "thank
you" in there. If you don't know
who your senators are, you
are always welcome to meet
them in person at 7:30 p.m.
every Wednesday night in
Boren lounge. If not please
refer to the Senate Board
(located in the stairwell of
Founders closest to the caf).
Best of wishes to all and good
hunting ... hugging.§€

officers to divert resources
from their jobs to cover the
problem. These resources
would otherwise be spent in
service of the student body.
However, such appeals may
still fall flat to the most com

dents. After all, "I pay a [lot] of
money to go here," said the
