What does the CARE team do?
When a student struggles with personal and/or academic issues during a term, Puget Sound鈥檚 Campus Assessment, Response & Education (CARE) team, an inter-departmental team of University staff, quickly intervenes with that student.
Puget Sound community members (faculty, staff, students, or family members) may submit a to the CARE team regarding any student at any time. A link to the preferred alert form is available in the faculty portal under Advising on the main menu. All non-student employees can find it on the myPugetSound portal, when they click the 鈥淪tudent Alerts and Concern鈥 button. Faculty may also send an email directly to Landon Wade in Academic Advising.
