Those\nwho have experienced success often say they didn’t do it alone. Having a\nsupport system is critical to success. Support can come in many forms, from\nfamilial support to financial support. Working towards becoming a health care\nprofessional is difficult and requires a large support system. EMU provides\nresources to our students to help them succeed while they are enrolled and\nhopefully beyond their years with us. Students have a number of support\nservices at their disposal including career services and counseling support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nstudents begin to think beyond EMU, it is important to build skills in career\ndevelopment. Most students will be interviewed for professional health programs\nso being prepared is imperative for a successful interview experience.\n“The mission of Career Services is to help students determine ‘next steps’\nfor achieving future goals and coaching students through action plans to\ncomplete those goals. Resume reviews, practice interviews, job and internship\nsearch strategies and graduate school preparation are services students may\nutilize as they move toward specific goals,\u201d states Kimberly Phillips, Director\nof Career Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\ncan be very stressful maintaining coursework, meet writing project deadlines,\nbalancing study, work, and a social life all while thinking and preparing for\nthe future. At times students may feel overwhelmed, and when they do, they are\nencouraged to get support from Counseling Services. Student\nmental health is the priority of EMU\u2019s counseling center. \u201cWe seek to serve EMU\nstudents with the resources available to us, including knowledge, skills and\nstaffing available to us.
