Our Mission
The Falk College Office of Student Services strives to provide a caring, comfortable and confidential environment where students can discuss academic, social and/or emotional concerns. In addition, we provide advising for first-year and undeclared students and track all requirements for degree completion.
Our Approach
Our department uses a strength-based advising and counseling approach when working with students. We listen to concerns, identify your strengths and challenges and work towards positive solutions. We like to take a proactive (rather than reactive) approach to situations, both academic and personal. We prefer to see students when their concerns first arise and work on solutions before a crisis occurs or things are “too far gone” to make an impact in the semester.
General Support Services
Typical issues that students talk to us about are:
Concerns with classes/grades
Time management (fitting everything in and developing a balanced schedule for school and social)
Study and learning strategies
Learning disabilities (whether already diagnosed or suspected)
Relationship issues (roommates, friendships, romantic and parental)
Depression and anxiety
Drug and alcohol issues
Homesickness
Sexual and gender orientation issues
Connecting and making friends on campus
Lifestyle concerns (sleeping, eating, developing routines, etc.)
supports holistic student development, academic success, and career readiness. Academic advisors work closely with students to identify challenges and strengths, develop solutions, and encourage early, ongoing engagement. Students are expected to participate in advising and take part in college-wide initiatives that promote learning, growth, and professional development.
We also collaborate with other resources on campus and may connect you to them if it would be helpful for your particular concerns.
