Computer Services

  • What types of computer services are available at the college? - The Center for Computing and Information Systems (CCIS) provides academic computing, administrative information systems, and telecommunications services to faculty, staff, and students. The 24-hour computer labs are equipped with hundreds of computers plus the full gamut of scanners, printers, CD-ROM's and digital equipment. All labs, classrooms, and local area network facilities are linked to a campus-wide network for Internet access.

Library

  • What types of resource tools are available at the college? – The Library is open seven days a week during the semester and until midnight Sunday through Thursday. The collection includes 154,000 books, of which 14,000 are reference books. At this time, the library also offers over 50 electronic indexes that include several thousand full-text electronic journals in addition to more than 700 paper journals. Access to library resources is available through the library's Web section that, in turn, provides access to the online databases and other related resources. Information literacy is central to the mission of the library and offers students an opportunity to develop research skills and enhance knowledge to do independent research. This includes formal information literacy classes as well as individualized instruction and traditional reference services.

Job Opportunities

  • Does the college provide resources for employment? - The Cahill Center offers a full array of services and programs to enhance students’ academic, personal and professional goals while preparing them for the transition from college to career. An emphasis is placed upon lifelong learning with a "Career Management and Self-Development Blueprint" available to guide students through their four undergraduate years. The Career Services Office offers workshops, seminars and panels, individualized career advisement, computerized career guidance (FOCUS and Discover), vocational assessment (Strong Interest Inventory and Myers Briggs Type Indicator), a resume critique service, and an alumni resource network. The Center offers job listings (full-time, part-time, permanent and temporary positions) and holds two job fairs annually. The New Jersey Job Service has a satellite office in the Center with a placement counselor available to students and alumni. The Cahill Center has partnerships with over 500 corporate and nonprofit employers who provide opportunities for both undergraduates and graduates.
