A new student service called the
Center for Individual Development
has been inaugurated at Penn State
Wilkes-Barre, according to an
announcement by ‘David Rice,
Director of Academic Services.
For the convenience of students, a
number of services that formerly
meant separate trips or appoint-
ments for students are now reorgan-
ized into one innovative centralized
department which will meet a wide
range of needs in a single appoint-
ment.

students find they have any kind of
problem or question this fall-aca-
demic or personal--they won’t face
the pilgrimage common to college
students who often wander wearily

help. Instead, they’ll go straight to
the campus Center for Individual
Development, a ‘‘one-stop’’ area
where help with all sorts of prob-
lems will be immediately available.
The new Center combines the
academic counseling, personal
counseling, and learning support
department, which traditionally
have been independent units within
the Penn State system and on other
campuses as well. The Center is

also available for counseling to
community residents regardless of
their intent to enroll in Penn State.
Diane Hunt, director of the
Center, estimates that at least 75
percent of the student body will visit
it at least once. ‘“We wanted,” Hunt
says, “to be absolutely sure we
were doing everything possible to
promote the total development of
our students. Not only will it now be
easier for students to locate what
they need, but staff members in
different areas will be in constant
communication with each other.”
The staff of four will be available
days and evenings to students and
to community residents in need of
personal or career counseling. Serv-
ices in these areas include such
items as administering interest sur-
veys and providing career and
employment information as well as
life transition counseling.
Among learning support services
are not only such traditional offer-
ings as tutoring but also a variety of
materials for independent study and
access to such auxiliary equipment
as typewriters and computers.
These learning support services are
coordinated by Patricia Cole, who is
a reading specialist.
The Center will also sponsor spe-
cial programs on career awareness,
academic survival skills and per-
sonal development, and will provide
faculty development programs on
academic advising and referral
skills.
Community residents wishing to
explore services available from the
Center are invited to drop by the
third floor of Hayfield House on the
Lehman campus, or to telephone
675-2171 and ask for director Diane
Hunt or counselors Patti O’Neill
