The CARE (Coordination, Assessment, Response and Education) Team is a multidisciplinary group of higher education professionals from various campus departments that help to identify and respond to situations that could potentially disrupt a student’s academic, educational, or social well-being. The team strives to intervene early to help support by connecting students with resources both on campus and within the local community. The CARE team reviews individual cases and coordinates an appropriate action plan for response.
