Our Vision and Mission

Vision:

To serve the DKU community by coordinating support efforts on and off campus in order to assist students facing challenges, stressors, and barriers that impede academic and personal success.

Mission:

To provide high quality, systems-based outreach and support services that assist and empower students in identifying and managing interpersonal, academic, and healthcare concerns. We do this by:

  • Responding to concerns from the DKU community about students in distress;
  • Communicating with students to address their needs;
  • Connecting students to appropriate resources and services;
  • Providing a central point of contact for students facing a crisis or trauma;
  • Fostering resilience and self-advocacy in students to manage their responsibilities and work toward their goals;
  • Communicating across systems to keep the campus community and individuals safe and healthy;
  • And advocating for students individually and systemically.
