Economic Crisis Response Grants
Creating a culture of care is central to the values of the Dean of Students Office. In the spirit of caring for our students, the Student Crisis Fund enables us to award Economic Crisis Response Grants when a verified crisis has negatively impacted a student's health, safety, wellbeing, and their ability to continue their education. The Economic Crisis Response Grant process is managed by the Dean of Students Office and is made possible thanks to the support of generous donors and their contributions to the Student Crisis Fund.

Students Concerned About a Student
Are you a student who is concerned about another student?
- Did a fellow student write something concerning online or in a text?
- Is a student acting very strange and causing you to worry?
Trust your instincts. You don't need "proof" or "evidence" that something isn't right. Say something right away - do not wait! We are all responsible for a safe and academically productive campus.
