Student Empowerment and Advocacy assists students in navigating concerns that interfere with student success. This team offers support to students who are experiencing a significant challenge or crisis and assists those students in utilizing various resources both on and off campus. SEA partners with students experiencing a stressful situation to determine a suitable course of action and assess reports of concern to balance the needs of individual students with the needs of the campus community.
