Program Mission

The mission of the ASSIST/Early Warning Program is to provide special assistance and guidance to any student who has been identified by faculty or staff to be experiencing some sort of difficulty.The ASSIST/Early Warning Program Coordinator provides students with early guidance that either refers them to the correct office or helps them work through their problem. The coordinator encourages students to feel comfortable talking through their problem to a conclusion.
