The Office of Community Standards and Student Affairs is pleased to announce a professional development opportunity for faculty and staff that work closely with Illinois Tech students. These workshops will assist faculty and staff on how to better support students. 

Responding to Students In Distress

This workshop will provide information about how to respond to students who are in distress or exhibiting disrupting behaviors.  The workshop will review strategies to help respond to a student in distress and will outline university and Student Affairs response protocols to streamline access for a student to professional services and provide an understanding of how to respond to a student in distress or crisis.

Understanding Our College Students and Their Families
