The Lincoln College Career Services Office in conjunction with the College’s Excellence in Leadership Committee will host an Open House in the College’s new Career Services Center, located in the McKinstry Library building, on Tuesday, Nov. 28 from 3–4:30 p.m.

Later that evening, Lincoln College will also host a special “Excellence in Leadership” presentation featuring two guest speakers from the Career Center at Illinois State University. The presentation will begin at 7 p.m. Room 128A-B in the Lincoln Center on the Lincoln College campus. Both events are free and open to the public.

“Through the new Career Services Center we are expanding services to our students to help them prepare for life after college and, at the same time, the center can offer local employers a pipeline to skilled graduates,” Director of Career Services Joe Hendrix said.

For the Excellence in Leadership presentation that evening, Pam Cooper, Director of the Career Center at Illinois State University, and Maureen Roach, Senior Assistant Director for Programs and Events at the Career Center at Illinois State University, will co-present and share insights gained through their nearly 50 years of combined experience working in career counseling, with a focus on career exploration and development, and the related value of gaining leadership experiences and transferable skills.

Lincoln College enjoys an ongoing partnership with Illinois State University with regard to career services. As a result, Lincoln College students are able to access a number of resources and services provided by the ISU Career Center, including career counseling appointments, mock interviews, presentations, workshops, seminars, and job/career fairs. These resources and services are offered in addition to those provided by the Lincoln College Career Services Office.

The open house earlier in the day will allow faculty, staff, students and community members to stop by and check out the new Career Services Center on the Lincoln campus, meet the staff, and learn more about the career resources and services now available to students, alumni, and potential employers. Refreshments and snacks will also be provided. More information about Career Services at Lincoln College can be found at https:// careerservices.lincolncollege.edu/
