AACC Hires Career Services Coordinator

Jan. 6, 2006

Education

Area employers with job openings to fill and Anne Arundel Community College students seeking help researching careers or finding jobs can turn to Anne Arundel Community College’s new coordinator of career services Joan Sturtevant, Ed.D., of Howard County.

An academic adviser at AACC at Arundel Mills since 2003, Sturtevant began work as coordinator Jan. 3. She has worked as a counselor in higher education and in other private and public settings for more than 20 years, arriving at AACC from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She served there as assistant program director for the Health Resource Services Administration Career Resources Center.

Sturtevant is responsible for overseeing career services such as individual career counseling, career planning and job search help for students and alumni. They can access career library materials, use a computerized career guidance system and find connections to cooperative education positions and internships related to their career field.

Although these services are based at the Career Planning and Transfer Resource Center on the Arnold campus, career counselors are also available at AACC at Arundel Mills, AACC at the Glen Burnie Town Center and the Fort Meade Army Education Center.

Sturtevant’s duties include overseeing the AACC Job Connection, an online database of job and internship announcements and job seekers’ resumes. This service is open to students, alumni and employers. Other services open to employers are participation in the Companies on Campus Recruitment Program as well as job fairs.

A professionally licensed counselor, Sturtevant received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Morgan State University and a master’s degree in school psychology from Towson University. She earned a Doctor of Education degree in Counseling from Johns Hopkins University.

The center is on the second floor of the Student Services Center. For information, call 410-777-2201 or e-mail ctrc@aacc.edu.
