Services
Below are resources I often refer students to depending on the subject. In addition to including some basic information and links, I have also listed the staff members who I have the greatest contact with.
Center for Work and Service—The
Center is a career resource for students. In addition to providing
information on successful job seeking skills and up-to-date job
openings in many fields and locations, they also award stipends for studies
and internships. The counselors have valuable knowledge and experience to
impart to students on job searches, effective resumes, interviewing, and
other such skills.
Sue Wang, Associate Director
Stone Center Counseling Services—The
Stone Center provides free counseling to Wellesley students.
In addition to individual therapy, the Center also runs several
group therapy sessions (themes vary, so check their website for more information).
Students are may switch counselors in accordance with their individual preferences.
Kumi Choe, Staff Psychologist
Pforzheimer Learning and Teaching
Center—The
PLTC runs a multitude of programs geared toward improving academic performance.
In addition to the Academic Peer Tutors found in each residence hall (who
meet with first-year students individually and also run workshops on study
skills), the PLTC also houses departmental tutors (who provide insight into
the skill sets needed for specific subjects).
Veronica Darer, Director
Class Deans—The deans are a valuable resource on academic matters and often serve as liaisons between students and faculty with regards to academic performance.
Disabilities Services—James Wice, Director
Slater International
Center—The
Director of Slater serves international students by providing personal advising
on adjusting to the US, as well as being the source for information on the
policies, paper work, and procedures for international study.
Sylvia Hiestand, Director
LGBTQQ Services—The LGBTQQ Advisor is an excellent source of information
on LGBTQQ concerns. In addition to providing individual advising, the Advisor
also runs several programs addressing LGBTQQ issues. The Advisor works closely
with the student organization, Spectrum, and with the Peer Resources.
