Overview

We want every student to succeed. That’s why we coordinate student care across the university with offices including Academic Advising, Student Affairs, Culture and Identity Centers, and Student Advocacy and Wellness. It’s also why we reach out to faculty throughout the semester, offering the opportunity to alert us to students who might benefit from early intervention or connection with campus and community resources.
