Whether you're graduating from SEMO soon or still have a few years left, here are some things you may want to take advantage of before you leave the nest!

Redhawks Athletics Games

View Upcoming Schedule & Promotions

In case you haven’t heard, SEMO students get in FREE to ALL home games, for ALL Redhawks sports. What better way to spend an evening (or weekend) than cheering on your fellow Redhawks at a game. 

Fitness & Wellness

Student Recreation Center

Did you know you can use the recreational facilities on campus for FREE? So, what can you do at the Rec Center? In addition to a weight room and two cardio areas, the Student Rec Center offers group fitness classes and houses a plyo room, basketball courts, racquetball courts, indoor track, a 40-ft climbing wall, and much, much more. Did we mention it has an Aquatic Center with a bouldering wall, rope swing, and zip line?

Counseling Services

Crisp Hall 201 / cbha@semo.edu / 573-986-6191

We get it; life happens – relationships, stress, loss of a loved one, life changes. Whatever you’re struggling with, talking about it can help. Southeast has licensed counselors and social workers on staff to provide FREE individual counseling to students. (While this is a free service to students enrolled in the current semester, you will be charged a small fee if you are a no-show to your appointment and don’t cancel in advance.) To learn more about the Center for Behavioral Health and Accessibility, or to find additional resources, visit their website! 

Career Services

Academic Hall, Room 057 / Open M-F, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. 

Clear some of the stress out of your life by getting a job lined up BEFORE you graduate. Need help? Career Services is a FREE service to all students (and alums). From mock interviews and resume/cover letter help to career coaching and job searching, they’re here to help you land your dream job! Learn more or set up an appointment.

Career Closet

Towers 112 / Contact Career Services to make an appointment

All prepped for your interview but no money for an interview outfit? The Career Closet has a selection of donated men’s and women’s business and dress clothes available for students to help make sure you are “employment ready.” Students are encouraged to take and keep the items they need. For guidance on proper business clothing, contact Career Services at (573) 651-2583 or careerservices@semo.edu.
