About the NazCares TeamÌý

²Ñ¾±²õ²õ¾±´Ç²Ô:Ìý

The mission of the NazCares team is to support individuals and the campus community through proactive, collaborative approaches to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to student wellbeing. NazCares encourages community members to refer students for any concerns that hinder students’ personal and academic success. NazCares uses coordinated efforts to provide direct student support in addressing concerns and reducing barriers.

NazCares should not be confused with crisis management – which is active and immediate.

If there is an active or immediate threat or safety concern, contact Campus Safety.
