Counselors

Counselors are professionally trained to address personal issues, resolve academic anxieties, assist students in choosing career fields and majors, and problem solve other academic difficulties. With students on restricted academic or financial aid status, counselors work to develop individual success plans, which address the specific issues inhibiting academic success.

2. Facilitate decision making on educational and career goals
3. Facilitate college adjustment for in-coming freshmen (homesickness, time management, depression, anxiety)
4. Facilitate college adjustment for returning adult students (balancing roles of student, parent, spouse, and/or employee).
5. Mediate conflicts in student housing
6. Teach coping skills and stress management
7. Provide crisis counseling
8. Develop individualized retention interventions
9. Interpret career inventories
10. Teach Human Development Classes
