Counseling on campus
Programs help minorities adjust
By Jana Pedersen
Staff Reporter
Minority students who need help
adjusting to campus life don’t have to
go far to find it
The Multi-Cultural Affairs office
provides the Minority Assistance
Program and Student Opportunities
Services, which are minority student
services.
To be eligible for the state-funded
Minority Assistance Program, stu
dents must be undergraduates and
U S. citizens.
The main emphasis of the program
is to provide counseling services for
personal problems to career choice
problems, according to Vaughn
Robertson, assistant director for
multi-cultural affairs.
He said most of the students who
need his help have financial aid prob
lems or tutoring requests. But,
Robertson said, he also deals with
students who have problems with
roommates or homesickness. He de
scribed his counseling work as
“trouble-shooting ”
“I try to help the students make the
adjustment from high school to col
lege,” he said.
Student Opportunities Services is
a federally-funded program for 350
UNL students who have a below
average GPA or ACT score. Prefer
ence is also given to low-income,
physically handicapped or first-gen
eration students, and applicants are
interviewed before they are accepted
to the program.
The focus of this program is to help
students to succeed academically and
“to leach them how to help tncm
selves,” according to Jimmi Smith,
director of multi-cultural affairs.
Services offered through the pro
gram also include academic, personal
and career counseling. Many of the
minority students who seek counsel
ing feel like they are alone in their
problems and, according to Smith, it
is the job of the program to help them
realize that they arc not unusual.
One of die ways Smith helps mi
norities combat loneliness is to con
vince them to become involved in
campus activities.
“We try to advocate for more in
volvement for the racial minority
student and for the lower income
white student within the entire com
munity," he said.
Robertson agreed that students
need to become involved in other
activities.
“I try to remind them that they
should have balance,” he said. “Out of
the classroom activities arc just as
important.”
Additionally, the student program
provides special counseling for first
generation students. Because the par
ents of these students have never
received a four-year degree, they may
not be able to understand the prob
lems their sons and daughters face.
“If there’s a communications bar
rier, it’s our job to expose the first
generation student to different sup
port bases,” Smith said.
Special sections of University
Foundations, Math 100 and English
ISO are also offered through the pro
gram. In developing the program,
Smith said 100-level math and Eng
lish composition courses were identi
fied as areas which were causing
minority and low-income students
stress. These special sections were
created to help alleviate the problem.
“All of the students in our sections
are capable. We just bring it out of
them,’ ne said.
“The basic goal is to keep them in
school,” Smith said. “The key to
growth is wanting to change and then
taking the steps necessary to help you
grow in a constructive way ... if we
get people trying, something’s going
to happen.”
