When Students Struggle: Recognizing Distress and Taking Action
University employees play an important role in helping maintain a campus environment that is safe, supportive and responsive to student needs. Daily interactions often position our faculty and staff to notice when a student may be experiencing distress.
This session will help you recognize behavioral and situational indicators of distress, and attendees will leave with practical guidance on how to document observations in a clear and responsible manner. Join us as we outline how thoughtful reporting can help ensure students receive timely support and intervention.
Presenters: Larry Gourdine, Associate Dean of Students and Director of Student Assistance and Support Services; and Jonathan Harrison, Assistant General Counsel
When: Wednesday, March 25, 2026 from 11:30 am -12:30 pm
