Student Counseling Services

Student Counseling Services recognizes that the war between Ukraine and Russia may be resulting in an emotional response whether or not you live or have loved ones in that region. We stand in support of those in our university community who are affected by these events, particularly those from Eastern Europe, those who have been impacted by war in the past, and those affiliated with the military. We are here to help you navigate through these difficult times. Please contact us at 309-438-3655 for support.
