Purpose:
The purpose of Saluki Cares is to develop, facilitate and coordinate a university-wide program of care and support for students in distress. By working closely with faculty, staff, students and their families, SIUC will continue to display a culture of care and demonstrate to our students and their families that they are an important part of the community.
Saluki Cares is an early alert initiative composed of professionals from different areas of campus life who deal with students on a regular basis: Academic Support, Academic Affairs/Faculty, Enrollment Management, Student Affairs, Student Development, New Student Programs, and others. All concerns remain confidential.
Referrals are made from faculty, staff, parents, other students, or by the student him/herself.
The Saluki Cares team can help students with issues surrounding, but not limited, to:
- deaths (student/family)
- extended illnesses
- financial stress
- adjustment issues
- class attendance problems
- homesickness
- and other general signs of stress
