Counseling Services offers both learning and personal support for a wide range of issues for students. It is recognized that a number of different factors can affect the academic success of our students. Workshops and individual sessions are available to assist students in recognizing and working towards their academic, personal, or career goals.
Students who may need assistance with: goal setting, problem solving, study skills, motivation, or communicating effectively, can visit the Counseling Center for assistance. Students are also encouraged to come in if they just need to talk.
