Services We Provide

Individual Counseling

Our interns work individually with students to assess their strengths and weaknesses in such academic areas as time management, note taking, reading from texts, test-taking, and overcoming procrastination and anxiety. Once focuses of concern have been established, the intern works with the client to set goals for improvement and suggests ways to accomplish those goals. Student clients typically monitor their behavior and then modify their work habits between sessions. Counseling session are used to learn new strategies, discuss challenges for implementing them, and celebrate accomplishments.

Unless otherwise waived by the client, all information about counseling sessions is held in strict confidence. E-mail the interns at asc@owu.edu or call ext. 3925 to make an appointment. You can also make an appointment online using the ASC Pop-Up Scheduler.

Group Presentations

Our interns can provide information to groups on study-related topics such as: time management, goal setting, reading from texts, coping with finals, test anxiety, note-taking, and overcoming procrastination. We have given presentations to assist sports teams at study tables, small living units, sororities, fraternities, and residence hall floors.
