Student Support Partners: The Dean of Students Office: An OFE Partners Session Online
Faculty members are not on their own when it comes to supporting students. We know faculty play a crucial role in fostering a nurturing environment that addresses students’ broader needs of well-being and success. It's a collective effort that involves engaging departments and resources. Instructors might not always be aware of the types of resources they can refer their students to. To bridge this gap, representatives from the Dean of Students Office (DOS) will shed light on the available resources as well as address the DOS's role in helping students deal with their absences effectively, this week's Strong Student Campaign theme. Questions welcome!
