Personal and Academic Counseling
Getting help can be hard. The Counseling and Student Development department is here to help. The department is committed to student success, and its counselors realize that pressure and difficulties affect academic performance. Therefore, staff members are available to meet with students individually to discuss a wide range of personal concerns, while counselors provide encouragement and support in a non-judgmental environment, intervene in times of crisis, help students identify and resolve personal issues, and make referrals when necessary.

Counselors help students explore the best options available for academic and personal success. Our counseling office utilizes a short-term model, and the counseling services are goal-focused. Staff members also have information about available community resources for students who need long-term therapeutic services.
