With respect to academics, the Personal Counseling Center assists students in exploring problematic concerns such as memory, concentration, perfectionism, procrastination, and conflict resolution. Counseling can help to provide students with the skills to become more successful and competent in dealing with test anxiety, stress management, and communication with faculty.
