Campus colleagues in Student Health, Counseling, and Well-Being, Office of Student Life, Residence Life, Campus Ministry and Off-Campus Living are available to support all students.
When an event affects a community, it is normal to have many feelings occur including sadness, anger, confusion, and disbelief. What feelings come up do not have to make sense. Everyone processes things differently in their own way. As space and time allow grief to surface, the CAPS team offers information on grief to help you recognize the impacts of grief and understand how to take care of yourself through the grieving process.
