Campus Awareness Response & Evaluation (CARE) is a collaboration of professionals that is chaired by the Dean of Students. CARE responds to concerns about distressed and disruptive students and advocates for student’s rights and concerns.
Functions
The CARE Team is a multidisciplinary team that meets regularly to serve five major functions for the university.
- Provide consultation and support to faculty, staff, and administration in assisting students who display concerning or disruptive behaviors;
- Gather information to assess situations involving students who display concerning or disruptive behaviors;
- Recommend appropriate intervention strategies or disciplinary sanctions;
- Connect students with needed campus and community resources;
- Monitor ongoing behavior of students who have displayed disruptive or concerning behavior. CARE is not intended to address routine conduct matters that occur in the classroom.

A designee of the above may serve if a representative is absent or unavailable. The specific composition of CARE depends on the nature of the behavior problem that is being addressed. Additional members from the campus community are included in meetings of CARE as necessary.
Meetings
The full CARE Team meets weekly to discuss student behavior and intervention strategies. An extended group of campus leaders meets with CARE Team monthly to discuss trends, best practices, and available resources.
Additional meetings are called in response to concerns about students, brought to the attention of CARE, that require immediate action. A response team, composed of appropriate members of CARE, will convene on an as-needed basis.
