Campus connections make a big difference in your student’s college career. And Nebraska Wesleyan works hard to help students make those connections to campus resources right away. 

Cooper Center for Academic Resources 

The Cooper Center can help with writing, speaking and study skills. Trained peer consultants collaborate with students to revise papers, sharpen presentations and prepare for exams. They partner with students at every level, from introductory courses to senior capstones. 

Office of Diversity and Inclusion 

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion supports students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, as well as individuals from diverse backgrounds. The office also educates the entire NWU community about diversity and inclusion issues through campus programming and leadership opportunities. 

Peer Assistants 

Peer assistants (PAs) are one of your student’s most valuable resources. They are trained and experienced students living in the residence halls; they’ve been through a lot of what your student will soon experience. And they have valuable wisdom to share. 

Counseling Services 

Students experiencing problems with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships or loneliness can contact Counseling Services at (402) 465-2464. Go to counseling.nebrwesleyan.edu to learn more. 

Student Health Services 

Student health staff are available Monday–Friday, and most services are already paid for through the student activity fee. 

Student Support Services 

When professors have concerns about a student’s well-being, they may notify NWU’s CARE Team. Caring professors or staff members follow up with a simple conversation to make sure they’re OK. 

University Ministries 

The Nebraska Wesleyan experience is about academic, intellectual and spiritual growth. University Ministries connects students of all religions to resources and faith communities on campus and across Lincoln. 

Voices of Hope Campus Advocate 

Advocates provide support to people who have been affected by relationship violence and sexual assault. Talking with the campus advocate is free and confidential. 

Computing Services and Instructional Technology (CSIT) 

CSIT staff and students work in Smith-Curtis 109 to help with technology needs. Students can come to the office or call (402) 465-7777 with questions.
