Student support

Å·ÖÞ±­ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±­ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø life is exciting and new. It¡¯s also full of challenges. Classes can be difficult, even overwhelming. Friendships are made, lost, changed and renewed. Academic majors shift and merge with new goals.

You may graduate an entirely different person than the one who arrived for Welcome Week. Or you may be the person you¡¯ve always been, though more knowledgeable, capable, confident and wise.

Whatever happens during your four life-changing years at Å·ÖÞ±­ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±­ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø, you¡¯ll find the advisors, counselors and other mentors you¡¯ll need to become the person you want to be on graduation day.
