The Office of Career Services is a resource center for students seeking information about jobs, internships, exchange programs, and off-campus study both locally and abroad.  Students preparing for graduate school receive guidance and coaching in developing personal statements, curriculum vitae, and interviewing skills.  Staff provides pre-law and pre-medical advising and assists with applications processes.  Graduate school test bulletins (GRE, LSAT) and graduate school study guides are available in the Career Library.  The library houses materials for loan along with reference manuals related to occupational outlooks, salary trends, study abroad, job guides, and special one-year teaching and scholarship programs for new graduates.  Annually the office sponsors the on-campus internship and volunteer fair.  All guidance and advising is directed in support of the academic experience to complement the student's unique academic contract and personal objectives.  

The ETS Center, located on the second floor of the Jane Bancroft Cook Library, assists students, faculty and staff with all of their multimedia and digital content creation needs.  ETS supports a variety of educational software applications and can offer help and advice for projects or presentations.

Equipment and training are available for students and faculty who wish to incorporate digital photography, digital video, and other software (e.g. web-based applications) as part of the educational experience.  The ETS Center provides listening and viewing areas, a small computer lab, and special project workstations that are available by appointment.  Cameras, camcorders, recording devices, laptops, and projectors may be checked out for course-related projects.

The Writing Resource Center (WRC) is open to all New College students who are interested in developing the skills and strategies associated with college-level writing. Trained student writing assistants (SWAs) listen and respond to the needs and concerns of student writers through focused, individualized conferences. Encouraging student writers to direct the conference in ways which meet their particular needs and interests, SWAs provide helpful feedback and resources about all stages of the writing process. The WRC operates on the principle that, no matter their degree of skill, students can benefit from open and objective conversation about their writing.

By focusing on the process of writing rather than just its product, the WRC strives to refine the thoughts and actions that create the written essay. SWAs involve students in productive conversations about the intellectual content of their writing in addition to assisting them with such formal concerns as grammar and style. As student writers themselves, SWAs share the experience and perspective of the students they serve, and they seek to engage a student's work rather than evaluate it. More than just a place for proofreading, the WRC addresses all steps of the writing process and urges students to come in to discuss their essays even before they begin writing.

The WRC has a commitment to serving all student writers in disciplines ranging from biochemistry to art history to anthropology. In response to student demand, the WRC has led group workshops dealing with writing first college papers, graduate school application essays, and theses. In addition, SWAs have initiated a creative writing group for students to come together weekly to read and discuss each other’s prose and poetry.
