COUNSELING AND PLACEMENT SERVICES 

Counseling Services at Allen University are deeply rooted in the belief that a student's personal and emotional growth is a vital component of their liberal arts education, often propelling them to make meaningful impacts in their communities. Our Counseling Services are dedicated to addressing students' emotional well-being and academic success, stepping in to provide essential support when emotional challenges hinder a student's academic progress. Additionally, as part of the Center's broader outreach efforts, we offer information and referral services as needed.

Personal and emotional development plays a crucial role in shaping a well-rounded individual who can contribute meaningfully to society. Our Counseling Services are deeply rooted in this philosophy, and we are committed to nurturing the emotional well-being of our students.
