B.2 Other folks to talk to

Sometimes you may want or need support from outside the classroom. Here’s a list of some resources who can offer various forms of help.

Please remember that you don’t need to be in A Major Crisis to reach out to these folks! Sometimes it can feel awkward to ask for help – but drawing on these resources, to a greater or lesser extent, is normal. That’s what they’re there for.

• Student Success and Advising is a nice place to start; this page has lots of links to various people and services.
• The Dean of Students, aka Division of Student Life, is a great general resource; the deans are especially helpful if you’re dealing with issues that affect your academic performance in multiple areas, because they can help you coordinate with all your courses and professors (whereas I typically only see a slice of your life!).
• As noted elsewhere, the Disability Services folks can help you work through questions around disability, accessibility, and accommodations.
• Health Services is the place to go for more general health questions. In particular, the Counseling Service is there to help with mental health and just living your good life.
• The folks at Community and Belonging are all about your overall experience. Check here for cultural centers; resources for first-gen and low-income students, undocumented and DACA students, and LGBTQIA+ students; religious, moral, and spiritual life (you don’t have to be religious to talk to them! College religious advisors are pretty chill people); and ways to get involved in social justice.
