Office of Student Advocacy & Support

Staff in the Office of Student Advocacy & Support oversee the Caring Community Connections (CCC) program and "The Shop" food pantry. They work directly with and provide support to any SMU student who may be struggling outside the classroom with any sort of issue and assist in getting them connected to appropriate available resources.

Our Mission Statement

The Office of Student Advocacy & Support is dedicated to working collaboratively to assist students in navigating challenges that impede academic and personal success. We connect students to resources, advocate, and educate the greater SMU community to create a safe, caring, and enriching environment.
