She also said students don't think about going
into a career in student affairs.
The Student Personnel Association is officially
sponsoring the week's events.
Shade said the special money is set aside by
the S.C. College Personnel Association. The money
is to be used to "further the careers and reputations
of those in student affairs."
At USC, it was decided to have a series of events
that would provide students with more information
about what careers in student affairs entails.
As part of the week's activities, students will
have the opportunity to listen to a panel discussion.
The panel will feature student affairs representatives
at USC. They will discuss how they got their careers

about going to graduate school and studying for

Schade said one of the goals for the week is to
have students realize their present undergraduate
activities might lead to a future career.
Students can take their experiences as an
undergraduate and combine them with a little
more training in that area and end up with a career
in student affairs, Schade said.
For example, someone involved in community
service, might consider working in the community
service office at a university.
