Counseling and Career Services
Counseling and Career Services (CCS) offers a range of services that promote personal, interpersonal, vocational, and professional development of Oxford College students. As a whole, CCS engages students in developing insights and skills for application to the many dimensions of their lives.
We facilitate students’ exploration and discovery of their identities and aspirations, guiding them to use the various resources available to them. Whether we invite reflection, offer empathy and support, help create opportunities for discernment, or guide their navigation of barriers and challenges, our aim is to enhance their academic experience and overall growth toward lifelong flourishing.
Our career services help students explore the many dimensions of career planning and life design. This process includes cultivating certain mindsets: curiosity, a willingness to try new things, the ability to reframe a problem and ask for help and failing forward. We also guide students through discovery of their values and interests, deciding a major, exploring a suitable career, and creating meaningful summer experiences. We also provide help related to writing or revising resumes, cover letters, and their overall professional presentation.
Our licensed clinical counselors help students address a range of student development and mental health concerns, attending to and respecting the many culturally informed perspectives and experiences reflected in our diverse student body. In addition to offering individual counseling, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and crisis intervention, we play a key role in promoting a campus that values support and care in the student campus culture.
CCS services are confidential and covered by the fees student pay as part of their enrollment at Oxford. For additional information, please refer to the CCS website at inside.oxford.emory.edu/life/counseling_services/index.html or call the office during business hours at 770.784.8394.
