As of Bakersfield College’s Fall 2010 semester, a few student services have been relocated.? The Student Health Center, The Center for Career Technical Education, and Disabled Student Programs and Services have been moved.
The Student Health Center has been moved from Room 6 into Campus Center 3.? According to Julia Cruz, a receptionist at the Health and Wellness Program, “We provide health services to students.? We moved our location to be more accessible to the students at BC.? It’s just like visiting a regular doctor.”? At the health center, some of the services provided include prescribing medicine, physicals, mental health counselors are available, and you can visit the doctor one on one.? They accept walks in and you can also make an appointment. The Student Health Center can be contacted at 661-395-4336.
The Center for Career Technical Education is located in FACE 16.? Work experience once located in Room 1 in the Levison Hall has been moved into the center.? Hamid Eydgahi, the Dean of Career and Technical Education explains “We moved these services to one building to increase its efficiency.”? Change has brought its pros and cons.? Their biggest issue is parking.? “Parking will no longer be an issue once the parking lot is finished.”? Eydgahi estimated approximately 60 percent of students on campus are served by their program.? CTE has many programs and services they provide.? Work experience, internship programs that provide hands on training, apprenticeship program, community education, and career technical programs are all located in the building.?
