Special Support and Response Programs

CARE Team

The Penn State Behrend CARE (Communicate, Advocate, Refer, and Educate) Team provides faculty and staff members of the Behrend community with a way to share a concern about a student's academic progress, wellness, or safety. The program's primary purpose is to intervene early to help and support students experiencing distress.

Educational Equity and Diversity

The Office of Educational Equity and Diversity Programs supports and serves as an advocate for diverse populations within the college community. In addition to addressing the specific concerns of historically underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities, it also supports students with disabilities, international students, LGBTQ+ students, and women.
