Creating seamless pathways to success.
Many students encounter difficulties during college, whether due to academic or personal challenges. The struggle can be as simple as knowing who to talk to, where to go to get help, or simply getting their questions answered.
The Lumberjack Case Management, Advocacy, Resources, & Essential Needs Center addresses concerns such as food insecurity, financial needs, and wellness. By collaborating with on-campus and community partners, we refer students to supportive services that best meet their needs.

Case Management Accordion Open
We are not counseling or therapy – rather our team works to develop helping relationships with students in distress to identify the heart of the issue, coach towards appropriate resources, and help the student develop an action plan. We offer continuity, accountability, and supportive follow-up to empower students towards self-care and self-advocacy.

Need to miss a class? Students can apply for a Faculty Notification Request when a necessary absence, illness, or extenuating life event occurs. Students are not required to take advantage of this optional service.
