WE FOSTER STUDENT DEVELOPMENT THROUGH COMPASSION, EMPOWERMENT, ADVOCACY, HOPE, EMPATHY, AND HEART.

At the Counseling and Wellness Center (CWC) we believe that the college years are a time for change, growth, inquiry, and development. We strive to help students learn the skills to cope with the stresses of change and growth so they are better able to learn and thrive after their time as a student is over.
