Our Mission

The Center for Student Wellbeing strives to create an institutional culture of support and awareness by providing holistic programs and services to students, faculty and staff. We deliver equitable services by creating a safe and inclusive environment to the CCM community. Through a wellness approach, counselors will partner with students to identify goals and strengthen skills that will help them become successful in and out of the classroom.
