Student Life Office:
The presence of the Student Life Office is evidence of the commitment of Bluefield State College to the belief that education extends beyond the classroom. In addition to academic enrichment, we are committed to the social, cultural, and physical development of our students. The Student Life Office, working closely with other offices within Student Affairs and across the Campus Community, is dedicated to assisting students to gain as much as possible from a "total" college experience. We accomplish our mission through providing outlets for students interest, leadership opportunities, cultural and educational activities, entertainment and intramural activities, among other events.
Student Support Services:
Student Support Services provides educational assistance, professional counseling, and cultural enrichment activities to identified and selected students at all levels. To become a participant in Student Support Services, a student must meet at least one of three federal criteria: (1) be a first-generation college student; (2) have a physical or learning disability; or (3) meet specified income guidelines.
Health Services:
The Bluefield State College Nursing Health Center is an innovative academic nurse-managed health care service located on the Bluefield campus in room 210 of the Physical Education building. The center offers health care to students as well as employees and faculty members who choose to utilize the center for health care. The focus of the care includes health education, health promotion, care for common health problems, health referral, and first aid for minor injuries. The center offers physical exams and women's health care services. Health care is provided by nursing faculty members who are nationally certified nurse practitioners and nurses nationally certified in specialty areas as clinical nurse specialists. These nurses have their Masters in Nursing degrees and are recognized by the West Virginia State Board of Nursing as Advanced Practice Nurses. The college contracts with a local physician to serve as a consultant to the nurses in the Health Center.
