THE MISSION OF THE COUNSELING CENTER

Who We Are

The Counseling Center is a component of Student Development which provides the University of Dayton students with psychological, vocational, and educational support systems.

What We Do

The major responsibility of The Counseling Center is to assist each student in personal growth and development. Students are in need of strong support services, both preventive and therapeutic. Personal counseling, career development, and establishing academic goals are viewed by the Center to be important in the transition process from adolescence to young adulthood. The Center works closely in cooperation with many academic areas, as well as other Student Development personnel, in assisting the student's academic and personal decision-making processes.
In addition to working with the University of Dayton community, limited services are extended to the greater Dayton community. Professional consultation services are offered to groups and individuals so as to assist them in the career/psychological assessments and evaluations. We feel that as part of the greater Dayton community, we have this obligation to allow the local community and its citizens to assess our services, when mutually appropriate.  Please call for more information (937)229-3141.

What Does It Mean?

The Counseling Center staff views each student as a unique individual, worthy of all considerations that may be extended to him/her in an effort to attain a sense of self-understanding, self-regard, and academic achievement. The highest degree of confidentiality is maintained so as to encourage the student to gain the necessary confidence and trust in our staff. The Counseling and instructional services are provided and maintained at the highest level possible within our means and resources.
