Nota Bene: Center Events Today

September 20, 2016
 
Today our Center for Exploration and Discovery, The Lighthouse, will offer some very important events. From 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., there will be a Study Away Fair on Marlin Main Street in the Jane P. Batten Student Center. Students will have opportunities to learn about 2016-2017 study away courses offered by Virginia Wesleyan College faculty and semester study abroad opportunities.
 
In addition, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., the Career Development and Internship Program will be holding an event called “What You Need to Know About Internships.” This session will be held in The Lighthouse which is on the first floor of Clarke Hall. Students will learn how important internships are to their career development and how an internship can fit into academic schedules and career paths.
 
In addition, Biologist Michael Finkler will be on campus to speak in Blocker Hall Auditorium at 11:00 a.m. and at 4:00 p.m.
 
We are very fortunate to have a center that serves as a “one-stop shop” for students to gain access to experiences that help pave the way for success. The Center offers a wide variety of programs such as intercultural events, individual consultation, hands-on experiences, research projects, and much more. I encourage you to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities that will enhance your academic experience here.
 
The “Readings with Wesleyan” series also begins this evening when VWC Assistant Professor of Political Science Antje Schwennicke leads a discussion on the presidential election and U.S. Foreign Policy at 6:00 p.m. at nearby Enoch Baptist Church. Readings with Wesleyan is a unique educational program that brings free college-level teaching to the College’s surrounding Bayside community. This series is sponsored by our Center for Innovative Teaching and Engaged Learning.
 
Please check our events calendar frequently so that you don’t miss the many and varied offerings scheduled for our campus community.
