Student Resources

If you find you could use someone to talk to about a tough issue, I encourage you to reach out to the Embedded Counselors. They are a resource for students on campus in need of timely mental health support. They can help you strategize ways to address situations like homesickness, adjusting to college and independence, relationship concerns, and mental health concerns. Annie Clay is the counselor that works with our community. You can set up a conversation with Annie by using the attached QR code or visiting this link: https://vt-ucc.titaniumhwc.com/RWBDistrict1. Can confirm - she is a great person to talk to.

The embedded counselors hold office hours from 2:00 pm- 10:00 pm Monday - Thursday, and 10:00 am- 5:00 pm on Fridays. Annie's office is located in Peddrew Yates 190C.

" If you don't know where to go or where to start...start with us" - this is a quote from their website. Dean of Students is a great office for folks who may want or need assistance but aren't quite sure where to start or what options they have. See their website for more information.
