Mission Statement

• resolving personal concerns that often limit full participation in the academic community
• enhancing coping and stress management skills
• exploring and integrating personal identity
• developing individual strengths to meet future challenges and opportunities
• building healthy relationships and strong interpersonal skills

Counseling staff also seek to create an environment where faculty, staff, friends, and parents facilitate students' interpersonal growth.
