While there is no “typical” appointment, the list below can give you an idea of the concerns our participants tend to discuss in a counseling appointment at CEW+.

• Goal clarification
• Feedback on resumes, cover letters, application materials, etc.
• Job search strategies
• Returning to college or graduate school
• Work/life/family balance issues
• Emergency funding for current U-M Ann Arbor students

Counseling appointments are limited to once a month, unless previously agreed upon with your counselor. Initial appointments are approximately 45-60 minutes in length. Follow-up appointments, if needed, are up to 45 minutes long.

CEW+ assists hundreds of individuals each year as they make decisions about their futures. Our comprehensive counseling program supports the exploration of educational and career interests within the context of relationships and life circumstances. Transitioning into the workforce, academia or a new community presents numerous unforeseen obstacles, especially for those with nontraditional backgrounds. As a partner of a U-M student or U-M faculty and staff member, you are a member of the CEW+ community and we offer a non-judgmental space where you will be individually advised before or after you arrive in Ann Arbor.
