Let's Talk Drop In Services
"Let's Talk" is a program that provides easy access to informal confidential consultations with counselors from Student Counseling Services. "Let's Talk" is not formal counseling- it is a drop-in service where students can have an informal consultation with a counselor from time to time. There is no appointment or fee necessary. Appointments are first-come, first-served. Usually there is not much of a wait.
Counselors hold virtual walk-in hours on:
-
Mondays
2 p.m. - 3 p.m. -
Thursdays
1 p.m. - 2 p.m.
