Campus Resources: A Quick Overview
We want to connect with you and we also know that navigating the complex array of campus resources can be confusing! So we're sharing a quick overview of some important campus resources as you start your journey as a Bearcat!
CARE Team
This team, part of the Dean of Students office, works to support students with widespread
and specific concerns. You can go to the CARE Team if you don't know where to go for
help and they will work to connect you to resources and help you cope with complex
situations. The CARE Team also handles the course withdrawal process.

Counseling Center
At some point during their college experience, students may encounter personal, social,
career or academic issues that call for assistance beyond the advice provided by friends
and family. That's where the University Counseling Center (UCC) can help. The UCC
provides a variety of free and confidential counseling and referral services delivered
by professional counselors.

Critical Thinking Lab
Whether you are a beginning student or advanced, the Critical Thinking Lab can help
you with your essays, summaries, formal arguments, in-class writing, speeches, presentations,
and application materials. We recognize that critical thinking takes many forms—writing,
reading, speaking, listening—and occurs at all stages of the creation process—questioning,
analyzing, brainstorming, synthesizing, outlining, articulating, and revising. Visit
us, and we'll think about your work together.
