Liberal Arts Network
Road Trips to the Real World - Frequently Asked Questions
– For Career Services Offices
What does the program cost?
There is no cost to your students who attend the site visits.
Students are, however, responsible for paying for their own transportation
and meals.
Who is eligible to attend?
The program is designed for liberal arts students at any stage
of their educational career. It is primarily intended to be exploratory
in nature, and should not be advertised as an actual job interview.
We hope that students will come away with a better picture of
what’s involved in each career field, as well as networking
contacts and potential leads on internships and jobs. Although
the focus of the trips is on liberal arts majors, students of
all majors are welcome to attend the site visits. (*The Rodale
Site Visit is designed for students that are interested in writing/communications
careers and for students that would like to work at a leading
publisher.)
Can members of EACE (career professionals) attend the site
visits?
We hope to fill all of the slots with students. However, if you
would like to attend, please let us know and we’ll be happy
to fit you in if there are any open spots or last-minute cancellations.
Will there be anyone representing EACE or one of its member
colleges/universities at the site visits?
Yes. At least one person from the Liberal Arts Network committee
will be at each visit to represent EACE and to answer any questions
the students may have.
How will students communicate with EACE if they need to cancel
due to an emergency?
In the Students Guidelines section of
the registration web site, students are given a number to call
for canceling (414-908-4940)
How will snow cancellations be handled?
Each site has a specific way for students to learn if the site
visit is cancelled due to a snow emergency. Someone will contact
students via email prior to the day of the visit to let them know
the process for them to use if there is snow or other inclement
weather.
How quickly do the spots for the Road Trips to the Real World
fill?
The Liberal Arts Network in past years has had an overwhelming
amount of student interest in the program. We have worked hard
to expand the number of site visits to accommodate more students.
We try to give you much more time to advertise the program so
that students at all schools have an equal chance of getting a
spot. Student registration will begin on Thursday, November 15
at 10 AM on the EACE Liberal
Arts Network Website. Please tell students to register as
soon as possible since the spots are expected to fill quickly.
How will I know if any of our students are participating
in the Road Trips to the Real World program?
Send a request to Laura
Godwin . Be sure to include the name of your school in your
request.
How will students know what to wear, how to act professionally,
and how to best represent our school at the site visit?
We have provided students with Student Guidelines,
a document that can be found on the registration Website. All
students are requested to read these guidelines before registering.
You are welcome to contact your students and make sure they understand
how to make the most out of their site visit.
What if one of my students has a question? Where should I
direct them?
You may be able to answer their question, using the information
in this document or on the Website. However, if you are unable
to answer the question, refer students to Laura Godwin (585) 275-2366
or lgodwin@admin.rochester.edu,
Liberal Arts Network co-chair and student registration contact.
