Military/veteran support

Slippery Rock University Student Veterans Center plays a primary role in serving the university's growing community of veterans and military connected students. It provides SRU student veterans, military affiliated and ROTC cadets a place to relax and share information and experiences.

The center is located in 253 Smith Student Center and is equipped with computers, CAC- Smart Card Readers, printing capabilities, cable-TV and lounge space. The center can also be used to collaborate on academic programs or as a quiet place to study.

The Student Counseling Center (SCC) strives to facilitate the total development of students by reducing psychological problems and distress by enhancing mental health, well-being, quality of life, and supporting your aspirations. Our primary focus is on providing brief, confidential counseling aimed at helping students to succeed academically and interpersonally. When students require mental health services that are beyond the role or scope of the SCC, we will make appropriate referrals to campus and community resources.

Student Support at SRU is part of Student Affairs and acts as a central location where faculty, staff, students, parents or community members can refer a student experiencing or causing distress that interferes with learning, development and success. Student Support uses a model focused on the holistic development of the student to assist when they encounter challenges, barriers, and crises that impact their ability to be successful and safe by setting goals and connecting to the appropriate resources.

In Student Support we focus on enhancing student learning and development through one-on-one case management, Boost peer programming, behavioral intervention, and critical incident response. Students, faculty, and staff members can submit a Care referral for a variety of concerns serving as barriers to a student’s ablity to excel in the classroom and in their social environments.
