Brock University is launching a major reorganization of key student services in order to streamline and enhance capacity for student success.<\/p>\n
This spring, two existing service centres \u2014 Student Health Services, and the Student Development Centre \u2014 will be reorganized into two new administrative units, providing greater integration of student services.<\/p>\n
The Student Success Centre<\/strong> will be the home of Learning Skills Services, central Academic Advising (currently in the Registrar\u2019s Office) and Aboriginal Academic Supports. These resources will focus on helping students achieve academic success through advising and academic support.<\/p>\n The second new unit will incorporate student health services, personal counselling and accessibility services. This new Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre<\/strong> will function as a \u201cone-stop\u201d destination for students seeking health, wellness and accommodation services.<\/p>\n Both of these newly configured student services centres will report to the Vice-Provost, Teaching, Learning and Student Success.<\/p>\n Neil McCartney, Brock\u2019s Provost and Vice-President Academic, said last year\u2019s departure of former Vice-Provost Kim Meade provided the opportunity to review and reorganize student support services.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have been able to more effectively concentrate and integrate student support services,\u201d said McCartney.<\/p>\n Anna Lathrop, Vice-Provost for Teaching, Learning and Student Success, said creating a fully integrated model for related services will better serve students.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are natural alignments between Student Success and Student Wellness and Accessibility,\u201d said Lathrop. \u201cEach contributes an essential support network that should be integrated and interdependent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brock University is launching a major reorganization of key student services in order to streamline and enhance capacity for student […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1800,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3319,3,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38635"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38635"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38635\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38640,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38635\/revisions\/38640"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
