Office Of Cultural And Creative Activities Francis B. Dedmond Director Mr. Dedmond of the English Department directs a special faculty and ad- ministrative committee for planning and carrying out a program of lyceums including concerts, noted lecturers, famous authors, theologians and other cultural and creative activities of the college. Under his genial leadership the program is constantly improving, expanding, and bringing a new level ■ l u Te ? r e coIle K e and its surrounding area. The office works closely W1 ? u j P reside nt in acting as a liaison between the student body and the administration as far as programs of entertainment are concerned. Office Of Guidance And Counseling Perhaps the college student is faced with greater problems of adjust- ment than at any time in his life. In an attempt to assist the student to make positive adjustments and to grow in character as he develops in- tellectually, the college maintains a Department of Counseling and Gui- dance. The department first seeks to provide individual guidance for every student enrolled in the college by placing each student in a counseling group assigned to a faculty member. Each counselor meets with his coun- selees in a general group meeting at least once a month and as many times in personal interviews as is necessary for the needs of the student. The Department of Counseling maintains an office with student per- sonnel files for the benefit of both counselors and students and has an expanding testing program with a library of tests including aptitude, achieve- ment, vocational emphasis, and personality inventories. Through this pro- gram the student and his instructors obtain an accurate picture of the stu- dent ' s previous academic achievement, his non-academic background, and his outstanding areas of needs and potentials.
