    Care & Outreach

    The college experience presents challenges to every student. Feeling uncertain, out of place and unprepared is common. Life events occur without notice, which can derail a student’s plans. The Dean of Students (DOS) and  Care & Outreach exists to assist students in meeting the challenges and opportunities of university life.

    We are committed to helping students navigate and make the most of their university experience. Using a challenge and support approach, our services are designed to help students to manage unforeseen challenges by developing appropriate help-seeking behaviors and using their personal and external resources.
