Career Center provides clues
for “Life after Chowan”
The bright red brochure reads. “Welcome
to the Chowan College Career Center”
followed by a smiling face. Career Center
supervisor. Candice Whichard, wears a smiling
face, too.
Long before school began this fall.
Whichard, along with Linda Tripp, director of
counseling and career development, began
assembling a laboratory of multimedia comput
ers, the latest in software and video equip
ment for the new center in Penny Hall.
With three individual workstations, the
center allows students to discover and define
career paths, determine jobs relating to
interests and abilities, e.xplore characteristics
and requirements of specific occupations and
develop plans to enter the occupation of their
choice.
Many useful sources of information can be
found among resource materials on various
majors and careers, interview tips, cover
letters, resumes, the value of the Internet,
networking, job hunting, internships and
graduate schools. In addition to computers,
the center is outfitted with reference books,
videos, cassette tapes and magazines.
The Career Center also offers a variety of
free pamphlets, job applications, magazines
and test booklets for the GRE, TOEFL, VCAT,
PCAT, AHPAT, SAT I & SAT II.
According to Tripp, the new center is
already serving many individual students per
day, not including class groups, and quickly
outgrowing its boundaries. Tripp adds that
she would like to add 4 additional worksta
tions in the near fiiture.

Feattuing a state-of-the-art classroom equip>-
ped with 24 high-speed, multimedia computers
and a video/data projector connected to the
instructor’s workstation, the regional training
center, conveniently located in the lower level
of Thomas Cafeteria, recently opened its doors.
Designed to enhance the teaching of comput
ing courses for faculty and staff and utilize off-
hours in the telemarketing headquarters, the
center is available for regional camps and
conferences.
Linked to the new campus-wide fiber optic
network, each workstation provides users with
access to a Windows 95 operating system;
M-S OfiFice word processing, database, spread
sheet and presentation software; and Netscape
Navigator Internet software for accessing the
World Wide Web.
The new facility was employed recently by
the Northeast Regional Economic Development
Commission. Twenty-six professional economic
developers and key administrative assistants
were trained in software utilization and effec
tive use of computers. The group has already-
opted to utilize the facility once a month for
the next year. Area teachers and administra
tors, bank employees, businesses in the area
and the North Carolina Teacher Academy have
all expressed interest in training at the center.
