2024-3071: Director of Student Wellness CARE

Overview:

The director of student wellness CARE (Case management, Assessment, Resources, and Education) is responsible for helping to address the needs of students facing a variety of concerns, whether it be personal, academic, medical, financial, behavioral or other general concerns. This office focuses on connecting with students whose behavior has come to the attention of others in some manner and to determine an appropriate course of action that is in the best interest of the student and greater campus community. Some examples of what this office supports students with are personal and family crises; mental health or physical health concerns; basic needs insecurities (e.g., food, housing, transportation resources); helping students understand academic policies and advocate for themselves (taking a leave of absence, communicating with faculty, etc.); other disruptive events or assistance with general wellness needs; connection to resources, including Counseling and Health Services, Disability Services, Financial Aid, Academic Advising, as well as off-campus community organizations.

Salem State University values and appreciates diversity in all its forms and endeavors to create a space that reflects the campus community population which it serves.

We invite you to become a member of our community.
