Concern, Assessment, Response, Evaluation (CARE) Team
What is CARE?
The Concern, Assessment, Response, and Evaluation (CARE) team is a student-focused resource. It is comprised of staff from the Dean of Students Office, Residence Life and Student Engagement, the Center for Academic Support and Advising, C.A.P.E.S., Health and Counseling Services, and the Office of Accessibility Resources and Services whose goal is to support all students through challenges they may experience during their time at Hampshire. Many supports are available, and the CARE team coordinates response and outreach to empower each student to navigate resources and assist in a plan for their success.
