In an effort to meet the individual needs of our students, the Department for Disability Support Services and the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities join with the Dean of Students to provide comprehensive student services and thematic programming that emphasizes personal, emotional and academic development. These departments work in partnership with the Office of the Dean of Students by responding pro-actively to crisis, safety, wellness and access matters. Collectively, we are committed to helping every member of our community to succeed.
