Campus Partnerships and Outreach

The Counseling Center embraces a public health approach to develop and implement outreach activities that are community centered and reflect cultural humility. We aim for cura personalis, or care of the whole person, with the collective experience of our campus and local community in mind. We value our relationships with students, campus partners, and community organizations.  

As we strive to continue centering the needs of individuals and our community more broadly, we hope to grow our alliances and outreach to increase coordination of care and connection on our campus. We are grateful for the partnerships we have fostered thus far; check out some examples our partnership highlights below:
