Office of Student Advocacy and Well-being

We know that college, especially the transition into college, can be difficult at times. Our goal is to help you through those difficult times. Whether you need professional advocacy for those more complicated issues, peer support/mentorship, social connection, or connection to campus and community resources, we will be there for you. Our integrated approach houses everything, from the prevention of social, behavioral, and mental health challenges to responsive and collaborative support and intervention, and everything in between, within one office. Through the hard work of our trained, committed, and kind PEMI Ambassadors, and our deep connections with our Campus and Community Partners, we work to make access to this connection, support, and advocacy accessible and barrier free. 

The OSAW is dedicated to supporting your well-being, growth, and success, in a welcoming and caring atmosphere. Our role is to assist and support you in achieving your academic and personal goals. We also serve in an advocacy role and will hear your concerns and help you understand the policies and procedures of PSU in order to advance resolution of your concerns and/or refer you to appropriate services.
