Student Groups & Support

University Counseling Services (UCS)

UCS offers weekly identity-based support groups where students can build community with fellow students who hold shared identities.  Students do not need to be enrolled as a UCS client to participate in a support group. 

Examples include groups for Asian Voices, Black Voices, International Students, Latinx Voices, Neurodivergent Students, Rainbow/LGBTQIA+, Survivors of Sexual Violence, and more.  Click on the link to learn more about each group and sign up.
