INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURES

“The most outstanding thing about NSU was the social opportunities available to students. Being involved in SGA, student support, student activities, student court, and other clubs was the one thing that kept me at NSU besides my will to receive my education” (Students Comment / GSES)

As the "living room" or the "hearthstone" of the university, the Center provides

1. services, conveniences, and amenities that members of the university family need in their daily lives on campus in getting to know and understand one another through informal associations outside the classroom 2. through its various boards, committees and staff, cultural, social, and recreational programs which become a cooperative factor with study in education; and 3. supervisory and recreational experiences for those students who take advantage of serving on boards, participating on committees, and assisting with planning and initiating various programs.

Job search assistance is provided in writing resumes, conducting job interviews, and developing a career network. 3. Directing/coordinating campus-wide career activities. 4. Serving as the University’s principal point of contact with employers.

Cooperative Education / Internship Programs Cooperative Education at Norfolk State University is part of a nationwide college/university program that integrates academic course work with career-related, paid work experience. Cooperative Education (co-op) provides students with an answer to the question most commonly asked of recruiters of graduating seniors, “What experience have you had?” Co-op students will have worked in a professional environment and will have performed work assignments in chosen career fields that supplement their academic studies, leading to the educational degree. The cooperative plan of education, which combines theory with practice, offers the ultimate in a completely rounded and integrated educational experience.

Cooperative Education is available to undergraduates and graduate students in most academic areas. Participation in the program is open to students who have completed 30 semester hours, are in good academic standing with the University and have a minimum 2.0 grade point average.

A new venture for the program has been the Co-operative Education Clinical Practicum that has been provided by the Veterans Administration Medical Center at Salem, Virginia. This facility differs from our other clinical sites in that students are paid for their participation in laboratory services while concurrently completing the clinical practicum experiences to fulfill the academic degree requirements.
