| What You Can Expect from Social
Services |
The Social services staff will assess a student’s immediate needs,
whether they are medical, academic, legal, emotional, financial,
or family-related. The staff then works with the student to develop
a plan to meet those needs.
To insure a coordinated approach to a student’s overall care,
Social Services staff facilitate arrangements with academic departments
and advocate for the student with other campus offices and community
agencies. Within UHS, the staff coordinate with other services
to provide continuity of care with respect to insurance, medical,
psychological and prevention services.
