The Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus Care Team is comprised of staff members representing a variety of areas of support on campus, including Tracy Garnick, Heather Paris, Meredith Cosgrove, and Gail Stevens. The team’s mission is to identify students in distress as early as possible and assist them with challenges such as academic issues, personal health or wellness issues, financial challenges, housing challenges and displacement, and with other issues or concerns that have an impact on their persistence and academic success. The Care Team will connect students to available support services on campus and within the local community. This will be a coordinated approach, providing support with case management.
The Care Team depends upon referrals from campus faculty and staff who work closely with our students. The team meets regularly to assess referrals and review ongoing cases. If you are concerned for a student’s well-being, please fill out the Student Care Referral Form below.
