Center for Student Success

Purpose

University life is sometimes hectic. At times, students may experience crises or unexpected situations that cause increased stress and anxiety. To offer support, we provide a campus full of faculty, staff, and students ready to help. Students can talk confidentially with our counselors and/or campus pastors. Additionally, students may receive coordinated assistance from our Center for Student Success staff to help them work with faculty in getting caught up on coursework, access academic support, manage illnesses or time away from campus.
