Dear Students,
Please be advised of an important update regarding student support services within the Division of Academic Engagement and Student Affairs. The Office of Campus Culture and Access has been retired as a single unit. All of the services and resources previously provided by that office remain fully available, now with increased visibility and accessibility.
This transition ensures that Title IX Programs, the Student Ombuds, and Student Accessibility Resources are even easier to find and engage with. Please see how you may continue to access all of these important resources:
Student Accessibility Resources (SAR)
Student Accessibility Resources supports students with disabilities by facilitating accommodations and removing barriers to allow academic success.
Contact: Dawn Rockey, Director
Student Accessibility Resources Website
Student Ombuds
The role of the Student Ombuds is to serve as a resource and designated impartial party for those who may have a University-related concern or grievance.
Contact: Lauren Loeffler, Assistant Vice President

Title IX Programs
Title IX Programs manages complaints of sexual misconduct, sexual violence, and sex-based discrimination. The office provides support resources and equitable resolution processes.

Our commitment to supporting you and your success remains the same, and we look forward to continuing to serve you on your academic journey.
Sincerely,
