New Name, Even Better Services

In a recent move to enhance services to students and employers, Career Services at Millersville merged with the department responsible for internships and Volunteer Central. The Office of Experiential Learning and Career Management (ELCM) is the outcome of this merger.

“ELCM reflects the latest evolution of the Co-op office, which dates back to the ‘70s,” said Diane Fleishman, director of ELCM. “Our name has changed over the years as we have added more dimensions to our services.”

Students can continue to gain career direction through counseling, volunteering and/or internship opportunities. Additionally, ELCM offers complete developmental packages for students as they study at Millersville.

“Ultimately, the end result for those who use these packages is a successful transition into graduate school or the workforce,” Fleishman said.

Due to the increased number of students seeking internships and the additional duties of the combined offices, a new assistant director has been hired. Holly Kalbach will assume her duties November 8.

Among the new initiatives of ELCM is that one staff person is assigned as liaison to each academic school to enhance the unique career development needs of the students. They are Holly Kalbach, School of Education; Diane Fleishman, School of Humanities and Social Sciences and Margo Sassaman, School of Science and Mathematics.

Students looking to take advantage of these services can stop by Career Services, located on the third floor of Lyle Hall; Internships and Volunteer Central services are housed in the Bedford House, located on George Street. Services are available at both sites, however.
