20 WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH Weber College considers an important program in its curriculum to be its out-of-class activities which embrace guidance, health service, student government; and other student activities created and conducted by students, departments, or the community. Guidance Program The guidance system is under the direction of the Chairman of the Guidance Committee. Every member of the faculty serves in a guidance capacity to the extent of his particular qualifications to help the student become a more independent, intelligent, and self-propellent social being. The aim of the adviser is to help each student achieve a healthy growth toward social, emotional, mental, and physical maturity. The nature of counseling ranges from informal pastime chats with instructors and counselors, to scheduled, business-like appointments for advice or assistance relative to registration, scholarship, housing, student activities, and finances. Provisions are made for specialized counseling in the fields of psychological aptitude, vocational opportunities, and student recreational and social activities. This student personnel service is not compulsory. A student seeks counsel on his own initiative. Faculty members or administrative staff members encourage students to seek counsel when confronted with troublesome problems. The final decision, however, rests with the student. The Chairman of Guidance has scheduled hours each day for individual counseling. Any regular student is entitled to this professional service by private appointment. An active interest in the personal problems of Weber College students is taken by the Deans, who assume special responsibility for student welfare. The Dean acts as Executive Assistant to the President, and, as Chairman of the Standards Committee, acts in student matters that involve regulations of the College. The Dean of Women and the Dean of Men contact organized student activity and living groups, advise students to make wise choices in recreational and social relationships, and aid in providing an environment that is favorable for their all-round development. The houses where Weber College men and women room and board are under their supervision.
