For folks who missed the Administrative Services Town Hall Meeting on November 16, our Associate Vice Chancellor, Willie Brown, was asked to present on what's been happening in HDAE.

Enjoy!
Check-In, a new student services phone app, is launching this spring 2022. Residential & Community Living is seeking staff members to participate – the more staff available, the more assistance and support we can provide our Gauchos! Volunteers will be trained in Mental Health First Aid, campus resources, and how to use the app. If you are interested in learning more and serving as a staff connection point for students, please email Kristen Burnett.
