The main goal of the Care Team is to help students to be successful through individual support and care and the coordination of HPU resources. Upon receiving a referral, a member of the Care Team will reach out to the student to discuss the issue they may be facing and to develop a plan to help address any concerns. Students may be connected with or referred to additional supporting offices (Counseling Services, Academic Services, Religious Life, etc.)
