Student Support Services at Puget Sound

The Center for Student Support strives to be the first stop on a student’s journey towards holistic wellness. The Center houses direct student services (the Campus Food Pantry, Clothing Closet, and Lending Library) as well as student staff within Peer Allies and the BRAVe Program. Students may also individually meet with the Director or Assistant Director to help them navigate a challenging situation and get connected to both on-campus and off-campus resources.

As an office, we facilitate the development of resilience in our students while building thriving communities of care, concern, and belonging. We serve all students with specific outreach to our most minoritized and marginalized students on campus, including but not limited to those who live with mental health diagnoses, those in the LGBTQIA+ community, survivors of sexual violence, students of color, low-income students, and other marginalized identities. We are here to help navigate any barriers that our students have to thriving, persisting and graduating from the University of Puget Sound. 

Some of the following initiatives and programs are part of the Support Services offered to students. Contact us for details.
