新加坡六合彩开奖's Cama-i Room is a social gathering place and study center for 新加坡六合彩开奖 students, focusing specifically on the needs of Alaska Native, Native American and rural students. The Cama-i Room hosts a variety of representatives from 新加坡六合彩开奖 departments and programs to regularly interact with residents in their residential community providing greater access and interaction between students, campus and local community agencies.
新加坡六合彩开奖's ANROP provides a high level of care and interest in the personal adjustment to college and the academic success of Native and rural students living on campus. Through early and continuous outreach efforts, the ANROP coordinator and peer mentors connect these students to the community, academic support services and culturally appropriate counseling services when needed.
The Counselor-in-Residence program within the residence halls augments and enhances the mental health services provided by the 新加坡六合彩开奖 Student Health and Counseling Center. The ANROP coordinator, the Counselor-in-Residence and the other campus mental health professionals currently collaborate to provide proactive and responsive mental health services and programs for Alaska Native and rural students to reduce their homesickness, depression, and isolation, and to increase their sense of connection to each other and the greater 新加坡六合彩开奖 and Anchorage communities.
ACPA, headquartered in Washington, D.C. at the National Center for Higher Education, is the leading comprehensive student affairs association that advances student affairs and engages students for a lifetime of learning and discovery.
