How is your thanksgiving break coming along?
I was talking with my friend about some of the services that they offer here at Sac State, and she did not know about some of them…and she is a graduating senior! Needless to say, I thought I would make this post about some of the services you can get on campus (if you did not know about them already):
-ENS: The Emergency Notification System gives “urgent announcements automates delivery of urgent announcements to faculty, students and staff. The system sends out text messages, phone calls and email in the event of a critical situation that may cause harm or imminent danger.” ENS was used last year, when there were fire drills that happened around Mendocino Hall, to alert students and faculty to cancellation of classes. You can sign up for it here:http://www.csus.edu/ens/signup.html.
-The Night Shuttle: Available from dusk to 11 pm, the night shuttle can transport students to any place on campus they want to go to. However, they only operate on campus. I use this A LOT, because I take evening exercise classes at the WELL. You can call them at (916) 278-5483, and for more information, you can visit their website athttp://www.csus.edu/aba/utaps/Hornet-Night-Shuttle.html.
-The WELL: Besides the amazing gym located in the WELL, there is also CAPS which stands for Counseling and Psychological Services at the second floor of the WELL. They provide counseling of any kind, and they are definitely extremely helpful! You can contact them at 916-278-6416 or find out more information athttp://www.csus.edu/psysrv/CommunityRes/MentalHealthAgencies.html. There is also the office next to the COVE on the first floor, where you can schedule a three day-diet analysis there. These are beneficial, I do them every semester!! You fill out a sheet with some information on the front (eg: height, weight, if your goal is to loose weight, etc). You then track your food intake for three days (two weekdays, and one weekend). After you turn in this sheet, you can then pick a time to meet a peer health educator, or even the nutritionist that works on campus, and they can give you information and answer your questions concerning health, weight, and dieting. These are some of the many resources available at the WELL, check them out!!
-Lassen Hall: I’m sure all of you have been there for your first year advising (if not, you better get it done soon, otherwise you will have a hold on your registration)! Lassen Hall has the academic center, which deals with first year advising, general education advising (they cannot go into specifics concerning your major), and much more! It also has the career center. There, you can send in your resume and coverletter for editing, go through an interview process with a career counselor, go through career exploration (where you figure out what you want to do with your job). You can contact the career center/academic office through: (916) 278-6351.
There are plenty other great services out here, but these are some of the ones that came up at the top of my head. If I figure out any more, I will write them down!
Like I said, my biggest regret is not using the services that Sac State provides us with. You are paying for these services, and they are actually really beneficial! So use them!
