INTERVIEW:
Team 8: What do you think the most influential factor affecting college admission rates is today? Ms. Stanford: There has been such an increase in the number of students applying, students who are all qualifiedbout we just can accept them due to the budget.
Team 8: Do you think that college students are more likely to speak with the the counselors or the adviser for their major at school in regards to obtaining advice and future counseling? Ms. Stanford: Yes, our primary work as counselors is to help students cope mentally with the transition into college and we help students deal with their emotions.
Team 8: How do you think college counseling differs from public colleges to junior colleges? Ms. Stanford: The most apparent difference is that community colleges have mostly off-campus and commuter students which mean that less students take the time to come see their counselors so there are fewer positions for college counselors.
Team 8: How many college counselors do you have at your school? Ms. Stanford: Currently, we have 12 employees with the job title of college counselor.
Team 8: Do you think that you have an adequate number of staff? Do they all have a complete set of regular students that come in for counseling? Ms. Stanford: YEs, but we are currently undergoing some cutbacks in our department as well.
Team 8: What is your main role or job in counseling services? Ms. Stanford: We focus on the mental health of our students and transitioning into the college lifestyles
