Academic Affairs CARE Campaign

Finding the right words can be hard under any circumstances, and that is okay. We want to connect with you and make it easier for you to reach out to us.

When words escape you, share your heart.

What To Do

Send your chosen heart emoji to the staff or faculty member of your choice and let them know how you are doing. We would love to hear from you and provide resources to you if needed.

💚 = I’m doing great!

💙 = I’m doing well.

💛 = I’m okay, I guess.

🧡 = I’m struggling.

❤️ = I’m in a really bad place.

You don’t have to say anything, simply “share your heart” in the subject of your email and send to one of the Faculty/Staff members listed below and they will be sure to reach out to you!

“My mental health has not been great and I just need someone to talk to. I’m glad that you are that person.” – Anonymous Student
“Sorry for such a long rant, but that is the story. Thank you for your help and your care.” – Anonymous Student

Care In ACtion

A student was referred after he expressed concern that he failed his MAE 206 test in his first semester. The CARE team referred him to counseling and academic resources, along with wellness resources. He was able to get back on track academically and was admitted to Aerospace Engineering. He currently has a 3.3 GPA.

A student was referred after expressing suicidal thoughts. The CARE team connected the student with her psychiatrist, and academic advising to address issues with particular classes. She was able to make changes in her schedule to ease academic stress.

A student was sought support after the death of his father. The CARE team connected him with the Counseling Center for sessions with a psychologist and Pack Park, a safe space that allows students to develop community among the members of the Wolfpack who have been affected by the loss of a loved one.
