Introduction
Our Mission
The mission of Counseling and Disability Services is to foster an inclusive, supportive, and empowering environment where all students have the opportunity to thrive academically, personally, and professionally. We are dedicated to providing accessible resources that nurture mental health, honor individual strengths, and encourage full engagement in campus life.
Our Values
- Compassion: We meet students with understanding, warmth, and respect, recognizing the courage it takes to reach out for support.
- Confidentiality: We honor the privacy and dignity of every student, offering a safe space where honesty and healing can flourish.
- Accessibility: We are dedicated to reducing barriers and providing equitable opportunities for students of all abilities to succeed.
- Empowerment: We help students build confidence, resilience, and independence by equipping them with tools for growth and self-advocacy.
- Collaboration: We work hand-in-hand with students, faculty, staff, and campus partners to foster a culture of belonging and shared care.
