Supporting Students at Rowan: A Faculty Resource
Developed through a collaborative effort among Academic Support Programs, the Center for Well-Being, University Libraries, and the Faculty Center, this resource is designed to help faculty quickly identify and connect students with relevant support services across campus.
Based on common concerns we’ve heard from faculty, it includes:
- Suggested syllabus blurbs to proactively direct students to resources
- Email templates you can personalize after a student shares a challenge
