NSU Student Affairs introduces the NSU Student CARE Team, a multidisciplinary team designed to provide support for students’ well-being and academic success by connecting students in need with campus and community resources. The team serves to supplement existing campus processes such as student conduct, access to student counseling, residential life responses, and other traditional means of supporting students by ensuring that the “dots are connected” to better understand a referred student’s experience. By partnering with members of the community the NSU CARE Team strives to promote individual wellbeing and success while prioritizing community safety.

The NSU Student CARE Team will hold the first webinar series for the month of June called The Student Wellbeing Series: Taking a Bite Out of COVID-19

Later that night, a fire gutted her house, her car was also burned and found 80 miles away in Glades County.  No one has seen or heard from her since.
