What is the Aware Team?

The purpose of the AWARE Team is to promote the safety and well-being of our college community. The team provides a framework for information sharing and the development of support plans for students of concern. This cross-campus team meets regularly to detect student behaviors that are concerning. They engage in proactive and collaborative approaches to promote individual well-being and success while also prioritizing community safety.
