NazCares
We're here to help. It takes the entire Nazareth University campus community to look out for each other and take action if you are concerned about a student's behavior, safety, or well-being.
About the NazCares Team
Mission: Support individuals and the campus community through proactive, collaborative approaches to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to student wellbeing. NazCares encourages community members to refer students for any concerns that hinder students’ personal and academic success. NazCares uses coordinated efforts to provide direct student support addressing concerns and reducing barriers.
NazCares should not be confused with crisis management – which is active and immediate.
If there is an active or immediate threat or safety concern, contact Campus Safety.
