This time of the semester often brings increased stress and sickness. Luckily, Counseling and Psychological Services can help you create or maintain a balanced lifestyle or just serve as a sounding board about stressors in your life by speaking with a professional. Office visits are $10, but students in need will never be turned away if they are unable to pay.

College is the perfect time to create long-lasting memories and friendships. Whether you’re into sports, arts, community service or something super niche, ShockerSync shows you student organizations that cater to all interests.
