ABOUT US
As a multifaceted center, CASA houses a number of resources, such as scholarships, tutoring, academic counseling and life coaches that provide access to success. In addition, our office coordinates programming throughout the year to promote self-care, self-actualization and self-advocacy.
To accomplish these goals, we partner with local units, resources and ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ departments to provide coordinated care and support.
Through its work, the CASA team focuses on:
- Providing student-focused academic and personal support through programming, professional and academic mentoring, and peer-to-peer mentoring.
- Promoting student growth and accountability.
- Creating a campus environment in keeping with ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥'s Augustinian, Catholic values, and which adheres to the University's core values (Veritas, Unitas and Caritas).
- Developing student proficiency in self-advocacy and fluency in university resources.
- Promoting greater visibility and awareness of issues facing underrepresented students on campus.
- Providing a safe, open space in which current CASA students feel free to interact with peers, graduate students and professional staff.
- Facilitating seamless access to textbooks and other academic materials through our lending library and affiliated programs.
