CARE Team

The CARE (Connection, Advocacy, Resources, Education) Team meets weekly to provide a means for early intervention of at-risk students through collaboration with campus departments, faculty, staff, and possible off campus referrals and resources. The committee is comprised of key individuals across campus from Dean of Students, Academic Affairs, Counseling and Health Services, Disability Services, Residence Life, Campus Police, and Religious Life. Students exhibiting behaviors that are of any concern in relation to their personal, physical, and emotional well-being should be referred to this team of professionals.
