The “Anything That’s on Your Mind” Student Assistance Counter helps students with all kinds problems you may encounter in your student life and with concerns and things that may be stressing you out (including mental health issues). That includes listening to your opinions about things you would like to see changed at the university. Rather than struggling with problems alone, feel free to ask for help to deal with them. We will work with you to try to find solutions.
