Mission

Our primary mission is to serve students facing difficult times in life which are impeding their holistic success. We do this by connecting them to resources and support across campus and in the surrounding community to promote their safety, academic persistence, and overall well being. We also serve the campus community at large by being a hub of information and a collaborative resource to staff, faculty and students.

Vision

We envision a campus where students know where to turn to get support when facing traumas, crises, or any barrier to success. We envision a campus where our colleagues and campus partners are able to connect students to an interdependent network of support that works collaboratively and effectively. We envision a campus that prioritizes the safety and well-being of our entire community and where students and campus partners alike feel valued, empowered, and respected.
