Vivian, Yes, and students need to practice filling out the online application. These forms take a great degree of time and often do not ask for the same things in the same way. However, Making connections remains (for me) the best way to get yourself noticed for a potential future job. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Shanika, Revises resumes or guides students through the revision process. Hopefully the latter. That provides a learning experience for the student. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Dawn, Items 1, 2, and 3 would be very good additions. A sample of student work might be more helpful then the syllabi. The latter can change before the student gets to all courses. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Vivian, I've witnessed it both ways. However, Program information at orientation quite often needs to be repeated and reinforced early on and throughout a student's studies. Go light and what is needed to help the student start off on the right foot. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.
