Student Advocacy

The Office of Student Advocacy and Support strives create the complete college student experience by offering support services outside of the classroom. Some of the support and resources we offer to all students include:

  • Conflict Resolution: This includes several offices that can help you with legal conflicts, personal conflicts, and institutional issues.
  • Individual Support: From counseling services, support of students with disabilities, and specialized health programs, we strive to ensure you have everything you need to succeed individually.
