We are here for students of all identities, beliefs, and experiences
We recognize that ongoing incidents of social injustice and racism in our country and around the world continue to have negative impacts on our students, and that听trauma听in the context of negotiating marginalized identities is a real and ongoing source of stress for many. UCS seeks to provide welcoming and supportive environment for all members of the 天美传媒app community and is committed to fully recognizing and valuing all identities, beliefs, or experiences.
We encourage anyone experiencing distress or wanting an opportunity to process your thoughts, feeling, and reactions to seek individual and/or group support from us, either by dropping by our offices (Gasson 001) or calling us at 617-552-3310.
