Resources on Campus & Open Office Hours to Chat

In light of recent news, you may be feeling scared, overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, depressed, or any other emotion. 

If you are feeling this way, I encourage you to feel your feelings and take advantage of some of the resources we have available on campus. I'm including some of the resources available below, but also encourage you to reach out to friends, family, and trusted individuals. 

I am not a mental health counselor or professional, but I am here if you want to talk. I will have the following open office hours this week: 

Erin Doolin's Open Office Hours: 2147 LeFrak or Zoom
Tuesday, May 3: 10 AM- 1 PM
Thursday, May 5: 1 PM- 4 PM 


The Counseling Center is a safe and inclusive space where counselors provide support to students from underrepresented populations. Recognizing that stigma about seeking counseling and unfamiliarity about the counseling process prevents some students from getting the help they need, the Counseling Service makes requesting time with a counselor easier to specific student populations. 

Free unscheduled time with a counselor is available to students of color, LGBT students, international students, and veterans. Please note that students will be asked to complete several brief surveys prior to meeting with a counselor within an hour of arrival.

Drop-in hours for LGBT Students are named "Rainbow Walk-In Hours" and they are available to students Monday through Friday 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm at 1101 Shoemaker Building. Find more information here.
