JUST IN

Never Fear,
the Counselor
Is Here
In a day and age when the
number of student emotional,
psychological, and mental
health issues far outweighs
the amount of staffing dollars
and hours available, the new
Counselors in Residence
program at Southern Illinois
University Carbondale is a
fresh approach to helping
students. This new partnership
between university housing
and counseling and
psychological services (CAPS)
is not a new concept to many,
but it was a much needed
initiative at their university.
Jon Shaffer, director of
university housing, says that,
since the doors opened in
August 2015, the numbers
of students who have been
seen are astronomical. The
service is primarily used for
students who need three
to five triage visits for issues
like homesickness, stress
management, and difficult
interpersonal relationships. If
longer term care is needed,
students are directed to
the main CAPS office. Two
dedicated counselors (paid
for by university housing)
work from 12:30-9 p.m., seven
days a week, and they also
provide significant proactive
programmatic outreach to
the 2,300+ students in the
residential spaces surrounding
their office area. Shaffer adds
that one of the great benefits
of this program is that the RAs
have a direct line to dedicated
counseling staff.

Move-in App
Enhanced
The University of
Massachusetts Amherst
launched their move-in app
last July and turned a typically
overwhelming day into a
more streamlined and less
stressful experience. Parents
and students had a lot of
information at their fingertips:
the move-in video overviewed
the process, and interactive
maps led them from their
check-in locations to the hall
and then to their designated
parking location. Now, UMass
has added more student
life sections like healthy life
hacks, student videos, and an
incident-reporting function.
They plan to add sections for
housing assignments, the
alumni association, career
services, campus recreation,
and sustainable UMass. Check
out Living at UMass in the
iTunes App store or the Google
Play store.

Students Settle In to Five-Star Accommodations
They thought living on campus was great, but now students can tout their new digs
at Te Ohanga accommodation village as a Qualmark-certified five-star living space
at Massey University's Auckland campus in New Zealand. Over the past 10 months,
Accommodation Manager Kelly Manning has not only brought a 210-bed residence
hall online and trained six RAs, but also put together and submitted the down-to-thelast-detail portfolio of the new hall that Qualmark's accreditation required. It covered
everything from cleanliness and security to programming and conduct. You can check
out their new hall at http://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/student-life/accommodation/albany/
