PACK 4 Counseling Center Established As part of the Student Personnel Services at Eliza beth City State College, a Counseling Center is nov available to all E.C.S.C. students. The purpose of this center is to assist students with problems which are preventing them from fully developing their abilities, talents, and potentialities. Sometimes problems develop when students make in appropriate vocational choices or have had unrealistic choices thrust upon them. Some students are finding it difficult to make good use of their time or have not developed efficient study skills. There are others who are having trouble relating to other persons—room mates, friends, parents, or professors. When such difficulties or others develop, your coun selors, Mr. Curtis Sloan and Mrs. Olive Wilson are available to share the difficulty with you and to assist you in solving your problems.
