Student Support Staff
Our graduate level Student Support Staff members from the University's Master of Social Work (MSW) program are here to help our residents navigate and adjust to life on campus, and support their transition to young adulthood by providing assistance with social, behavioral, emotional and academic concerns.
The Student Support Staff is a private, not confidential, resource for students. Graduate level Student Support Staff may be obligated to report information to the University's Title IX coordinator.
Graduate Level Student Support Staff help by:
- Meeting with students in distress or in need of assistance
- Providing a safe, private and accepting space for students to discuss their needs or concerns
- Assisting residents with resolving roommate issues or interpersonal conflicts
- Helping students build healthy boundaries and relationships with others
- Building connections for residential students to help them with a sense of community at 91ÉçÇø
- Conducting wellness checks on residents who may need some additional support or be struggling with self-harm, mental health concerns or concerns for safety and wellbeing
- Implementing ATOD referrals to provide an educational opportunity for students who may be struggling with alcohol or substance use
- Helping students understand the resources and support on campus and to connect with those resources
- Partnering with Residential Life student and professional staff to better support our students

I am passionate about social work because my family has been supportive of others since my great-great grandmother and her husband came to America. They helped support individuals experiencing houselessness and food scarcity during the Great depression. Hearing and seeing how my family has been invested into helping and supporting others has inspired me to carry on that part of our legacy. Social work gives me the best chance at helping support my local community and removing barriers for others. That is why I decided to pursue social work. |

When I first developed an interested in social work, I always wondered what makes a person who they are? Why does someone select one decision rather than another? Years later, I’m still gathering information to develop a solid conclusion. Perhaps some of the answer lies in the consensus that life is full of challenges that are not always fair or easy to manage. With these difficult obstacles, individuals may be confused, frustrated, anxious, alone, and feel as nobody is truly on their side. I strive to be the objective voice for someone who decides they want/need support. Be a resource for someone to come to when times are not only tough, but in any circumstance. |
