  • Supporting the Whole student

    We believe you have to understand all the factors that influence a student's ability to learn. Through our Family Emergency Fund, Dorm Life, and Mindfulness Center we recognize that students' needs are greater than just showing up to school and doing their work. Providing supports in a crisis and tools to self-regulate and adapt to life's stressors are crucial to success.
