Student Services
Career Planning
The Office of Career Planning Department assists students with all phases of career development from career guidance and job search training to resume advice, interview skills, and professional networking. Our department provides career counseling and job search resources to assist students and alumni with making informed career development decisions both face-to-face and aided by technology. One of our strongest technology platforms is LionsLINK. LionsLINK is the new career management interface provided by the University for all students, recent graduates, and alumni. Not only does LionsLINK bring employers with internships and employment opportunities within reach, but the program also supports our emerging Professional Mentor Network. This initiative is being supported by Career Planning and our Alumni Relations Department and it seeks to connect alumni to alumni and, importantly, alumni and other professionals to our current students. The Professional Mentor Network will be introduced formally at Alumni Weekend in early April 2014.
In addition to direct services we provide to students and alumni, the Career Planning staff maintains active participation in regional and national professional associations. This activity enables us to better support the work of our faculty and academic advisors with labor market research insights, innovative educational programming, and best practices in transitioning successfully into the world of work.
For further information, please access the Career Planning Department website, http://www.saintleo.edu/resources/career-planning.aspx or call 352-588-8247.
Saint Leo University sponsors an on-campus career fair, which is held during the spring semester and is open to all students and alumni.
Information on the specific student services offered at each Continuing Education Center can be obtained from the Center Director or academic advisor. This may include student chapters of professional organizations, services available through the University's website, and/or referral services to local agencies.
Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges
Saint Leo University is a member of Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges and participates in the SOCAD (Army), SOCNAV (Navy), SOCMAR (Marines), and SOCCOAST (Coast Guard) networks. The University supports the SOC statement of principles and criteria as a framework for transfer policies that are fair, equitable, and effective in recognizing the special and often limiting conditions faced by military students.
Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC), established in 1972, is a consortium of national higher education associations and more than 1,700 institutional members. SOC Consortium institutional members subscribe to principles and criteria to ensure that quality academic programs are available to military students, their family members, civilian employees of the Department of Defense (DoD) and Coast Guard, and veterans. A list of current SOC Consortium member institutions can be found on the SOC website at http://www.soc.aascu.org.
SOC Degree Network System
The SOC Degree Network System (DNS) consists of a subset of SOC Consortium member institutions selected by the military services to deliver specific associate's and bachelor's degree programs to service members and their families. Institutional members of the SOC DNS agree to special requirements and obligations that provide military students, their spouses, and their college-age children with opportunities to complete college degrees without suffering loss of academic credit due to changes of duty station.
SOC operates the 2- and 4-year Degree Network System for the Army (SOCAD), Navy (SOCNAV), Marine Corps (SOCMAR), and Coast Guard (SOCCOAST). Refer to the SOC Degree Network System-2 and -4 Handbooks to view associate's and bachelor's degree programs, location offerings, and college information. An electronic version of the Handbook is posted on the SOC website, http://www.soc.aascu.org, and on the SOCAD, SOCNAV, SOCMAR, and SOCCOAST home pages.
SOC agreements are prepared at the time of the transfer evaluation for all active-duty Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard members applying for SOC-network majors. Military family members may request agreements for SOC-network majors through their Center. |
