Academic + Personal Support Services

BUREAU OF STUDY COUNSEL

The Bureau of Study Counsel is a resource center that supports students in their academic and personal development and helps them make the most of their time at the University. Students come to the Bureau to improve their academic skills and strategies (such as reading, note-making, exam-taking, time management, procrastination, memory, public speaking, and writing) and to talk about broader academic and personal concerns (such as motivation, relationships, adjustments, important life events, and future direction). The Bureau welcomes conversations with students about the wide range of interests, challenges, and concerns they encounter in their work and lives.
