Health Service

Primarily interested in the prevention of illness and the treatment of minor ailments, the Institute maintains a limited health care service, with a nurse and a physician who keep office hours on campus five mornings a week. A medical form sent to all entering students requests a thorough physical examination and history of immunizations and other background health information. These records are kept on file in the Health Service Office.

The Institute cannot assume responsibility for the regular treatment of a student's chronic condition present when he enters the Institute; however, the Health Service will supervise the treatment and general health while the student is under the care of the family physician. Ordinarily, drugs and medicines are furnished free; but certain services, such as X-ray examinations, special drugs and laboratory tests, are not available on campus. Rose-Hulman also requires all students either to show evidence of health insurance coverage or to purchase such insurance through the Institute.

Counseling and Advisement

The entire counseling program is coordinated by the Student Affairs Office. There is a close working relationship between that office, resident assistants, academic advisors, and the faculty. Although in some instances referrals to the central office are made by the advisor, faculty, and others, the student is encouraged to visit the counselors in the central office any time he or she has concerns which might be mediated by a professional counselor. The student will find that the nature of any visit to the counseling office is treated in a highly confidential manner.

Rose-Hulman also provides professional counseling service through the Health Office in the Union Building. Students can stop by the Health Office during morning hours to make appointments with the counseling staff.

The Learning Center

The Learning Center, located in the lower level of the Logan Library, offers academic assistance in the areas of chemistry, computer science, math, physics, and writing. Peer tutors-specially trained students supervised by professional staff-do the majority of tutoring at the Center, working one-on-one with students. The Learning Center sponsors special evening sessions on topics ranging from "Conquering Test Anxiety and Managing Stress" to "Using PowerPoint for Oral Reports."

The Center is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every school day and is open Sunday-Thursday nights from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Additional tutoring appointment times and individualized tutoring schedules are available upon request.

Career Services and Employer Relations

The Career Services Office counsels and assists graduates in securing employment in the professions, business and industry. It establishes contacts with prospective employers, as well as graduate schools, aids in the preparation of applications, and arranges appointments and interviews. The Office also assists students in obtaining part-time, summer employment, and cooperative experiences, as well as placement upon graduation. In addition, the Office assists with resume writing, cover letters, and employer searches.

The placement record has been an outstanding one. Over 200 recruiters come to Rose-Hulman annually to offer a variety of positions. Each Rose-Hulman graduate has several on-campus interviews and often more than one job offer from which to choose. Graduates are currently working in all 50 states and in 20 foreign countries.

Services are also available to all alumni seeking employment. Employers seeking experienced personnel file their job needs with the Career Services Office which, in turn, attempts to match these needs with the alumni credentials.

Through continuous contacts with business and industry and communications with Rose-Hulman personnel, information regarding part-time jobs on and off campus is recorded in the Career Services Office. Students seeking part-time employment are encouraged to contact this office regarding job opportunities.

The employer relations program provides a well established career marketplace and continually strives to add new markets for Rose-Hulman graduates.
