IAW ENFORCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
MEETING THE CHALLENGE
Looking for a challenging and exciting career working for one of the fastest growing
law enforcement teams in the country? Then picture yourself as a member of The U.S.
Border Patrol.
The U.S. Border Patrol is the mobile, uniformed, enforcement arm of the U.S. Department
of the Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). The Border Patrol detects
and prevents the smuggling and unlawful entry of undocumented aliens into the U.S.
and is also the primary drug interdicting agency along the U.S. land borders.
Border Patrol Agents enjoy one of the highest reputations among law enforcement
agencies throughout the U.S. and are renowned for their intense loyalty, fine esprit
de corps, and unmatched professionalism.

Are you depressed, can’t seem to manage
the hectic exam period, or simply need
help on deciding your field of study and
career?
If you have answered yes to any of these
questions, the Clark Atlanta University
Counseling Center is here to help you.
Located on the second floor of Kresge
Hall, the center is for any officially enrolled
CAU student who desires free professional
counseling.
“All help is voluntary,” Counselor
Wendy Mitchell said. “You have to want
help because no one can force help on
you.”
However, Mitchell said many students
are referred to the center by faculty and
staff, or by a friend or family member, if
they see something of concern.
Some services of the counseling center
include individual counseling and
psychotherapy, group counseling and
psychotherapy, crisis counseling, career
development services andpersonal growth
and development seminars and workshops.
The professional counselors are
graduates of master’s and doctoral
programs in counseling and psychology
and the staff is comprised of counselors,
social workers, psychologists and
psychiatrists, who are licensed by the state
or national professional organization,
Mitchell said.
She added some of the signs and
symptoms which would possibly indicate
a need for counseling include infrequent
class attendance, a lack of energy, frequent
falling asleep in class, drug involvement,
or overtly suicidal actions or thoughts.
The counseling services are confidential
and the staff is bound, both legally and
ethically, to respect all disclosures which
are made in counseling sessions, Mitchell
said.
The first step to counseling help is to set
up an interview. Then one must complete
a consent form which informs you of your
rights and responsibilities and also ensures
you of confidentiality. Next, the student
will be asked to describe the nature of the
problem, providing background
information. Generally, an identified
problem can be resolved in a relatively
short period of time, Mitchell said.
The counseling center is in operation
Monday - Thursday 9 a.m.-7 p.m. and
Friday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Calls may be made
in emergency situations 24 hours a day.
