Faculty Guide to UNM Student Resources
Many faculty at UNM know students who need support, whether it’s with academic, health or other concerns. But it can be hard to know where to direct students for the right kind of support. We’re here to help with videos and information on connecting students to the right support network on campus.
UNM has services on campus to help students with everything from academic support to behavioral counseling and culturally-relevant information and activities. See this presentation from SHAC of local resources, and see our list below.
