Student Care & Advocacy

What is Student Care & Advocacy?

The purpose of Student Care & Advocacy at Carson-Newman University is to collaborate with our students to identify the resources that will assist them in having the academic success and overall sense of well-being that they desire. We are here to help students navigate the kinds of challenges and obstacles that EVERY student experiences.

Student Care & Advocacy utilizes a “doing with” vs. a “doing for” approach in working with students. We operate in a non-clinical capacity and does not provide counseling services. However, we will quickly connect you with the resources that will meet your needs.

What we do

How we accomplish the mission:

  • Connecting students to on-campus and off-campus resources
  • Help students to communicate with their instructors concerning excused absences
  • Provide ongoing follow up and support as needed

Outcome we strive for:
Students having the academic success and level of well-being they desire while reaching their full potential as educated citizens and worldwide servant-leaders.

We care very much for our students. YOU MATTER!
