The years of college can be among the most exciting and gratifying of a person’s life. However, college students can experience significant amounts of stress, confusion, and uncertainty. At times, students may need additional support and encouragement. The Counseling Center is here to help students resolve psychosocial issues, enhance their personal growth, and strengthen their academic skills and performance. We also work to expand the campus community’s understanding of the unique mental health issues faced by college students, and how to support student wellbeing.
