The Center for Integrated Care (CIC) is a one-stop shop for referral and linkage to wellbeing resources both on and off campus. CIC is a front-facing clinical case management department providing coordination of care and continuity of care services, and follow-up for students. CIC provides outreach and programming to encourage and provide more access to care for students who may be ambivalent, unsure, or do not have the desire to seek more formal wellness services. In addition, CIC serves as a triage department for faculty and staff to refer students who may not be experiencing crisis but instead may need clinical guidance and direction. Currently, CIC is housed in the Counseling and Psychological Services Building, occupying a dedicated corridor of offices.
