Student Support Staff
Our graduate level Student Support Staff members from the University's Master of Social Work (MSW) program are here to help our residents navigate and adjust to life on campus, and support their transition to young adulthood by providing assistance with social, behavioral, emotional and academic concerns.
The Student Support Staff is a private, not confidential, resource for students. Graduate level Student Support Staff may be obligated to report information to the University's Title IX coordinator.
Graduate Level Student Support Staff help by:
- Meeting with students in distress or in need of assistance
- Providing a safe, private and accepting space for students to discuss their needs or concerns
- Assisting residents with resolving roommate issues or interpersonal conflicts
- Helping students build healthy boundaries and relationships with others
- Building connections for residential students to help them with a sense of community at 亚洲情色
- Conducting wellness checks on residents who may need some additional support or be struggling with self-harm, mental health concerns or concerns for safety and wellbeing
- Implementing ATOD referrals to provide an educational opportunity for students who may be struggling with alcohol or substance use
- Helping students understand the resources and support on campus and to connect with those resources
- Partnering with Residential Life student and professional staff to better support our students

And of course, I鈥檓 looking forward to working with the residents on campus because they鈥檒l definitely help make this such a meaningful year." |
