DEFIANCE, Ohio – National Non-traditional Student Week is Nov 2-7 and is designated as a time to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions that nontraditional students make to higher education, their communities, and their families. Defiance College’s Center for Adult and Graduate Programs (CAP) celebrated the week with a variety of events.
The CAP staff hosted coffee and treats throughout the week and lunch with current non-traditional students on Thursday and Friday. A resume writing workshop was held Wednesday, taught by Lisa Marsalek, director of career development. The CAP program also kicked-off its annual OSU vs. U of M Food Drive during National Non-traditional Student Week. The food drive runs through Nov. 21st and all food collected is donated to the Family Justice Center.
The term “non-traditional student” refers to any adult who enters higher education while maintaining the roles and responsibilities of an adult. At Defiance College, typically that age is 23. Other factors also contribute to being a non-traditional student including full-time employment, being married, being a parent, or being a veteran of a branch of the armed services.
