Clark University

Care Team

The Care Team is focused on creating sustainable systems of support that are accessible, inclusive, and equitable so students can thrive as they work toward reaching their full potential.

Caring for our students is at the heart of our systems and policies. The Care Team consists of a network of staff from across campus  who meet regularly to discuss student concerns and trends on campus. We are here to ensure students are provided with the care and support they deserve when they are facing a challenge or barrier that is having an impact on their success. We support all students at Clark, and our Care Team can provide you with information about resources, support, and referrals.

How can we help?

Our staff are happy to help you navigate and access resources without judgement when you are in need. We can help:

• Supporting and promoting interventions for students referred to the CARE Team
• Help identify and provide outreach to students experiencing a challenge or struggle
• Meeting with students to identify barriers and develop a support plan
• Connect students to campus resources and additional external partners
• On-going follow up with continued coaching and advocacy
• Assisting students in communicating with faculty around significant circumstances
• Managing the Leave of Absence Process

Emergency Funding

We understand that unexpected financial emergencies arise. Our goal is to assist when possible, to address these financial concerns to prevent any further disruption to a student’s personal and academic success.

Currently enrolled and active Clark students are eligible to apply for limited emergency funding through the Division of Student Success for up to $500 per semester to assist with unforeseen, significant, and temporary emergency expenses related to specific areas.

Food

Swipe Out Hunger is the leading national nonprofit committed to ending college student hunger. They work with colleges and universities, including Clark, to implement a range of anti-hunger programs across our 135+ campus network in 40 states.
