Our Mission

 

The SCRT engages proactively and collaboratively across campus to identify, assess, and support students exhibiting concerning behaviors and/or experiencing significant distress due to academic or personal circumstances. The SCRT partners with members of the community to promote individual student wellbeing while prioritizing community safety. 


Our Purpose

Education

A well-informed community is a caring and proactive community. SCRT educates faculty, staff, students, and community members regarding indicators of students experiencing distress and when and how to collaborate with SCRT.

Connection and Care

Direction regarding campus services, supportive policies, and community options can help guide students that need continued support. These resources exist to reduce stress, promote wellbeing, and provide academic relief when personal circumstances become overwhelming. The SCRT is closely partnered with Student Support and Case Management, who often takes the lead with student outreach and direct support.
