We provide a variety of counseling services to students. The Center is a resource to the university as a whole, providing programs, training, teaching and consultation to students, faculty and staff.  Students of all kinds visit the Counseling Center. Some are overwhelmed by problems and use our help to persist in school, while others are doing well already and use our services to develop their whole potential.  We can help students turn difficulties into opportunities for personal growth and improved self confidence.  Our services are confidential and there is no fee for most services.
