Student Behavioral Concern Committee Brochures Available
In late August, packets of the SBCC brochure were sent via campus mail to each department that works or interacts closely with students. Brochures in each packet were labeled for full-time employees and extra brochures were provided for adjuncts and part-time employees. A memo included in each packet requested distribution within the department. The memo also included contact information to request additional copies or ask questions. Additional copies are still available and may be requested by calling the Student Affairs Office at ext. 7680 or sending an e-mail to Pauline Palko at palkop2@scranton.edu.
The SBCC is an integrated team representing departments from across the University. The SBCC meets to discuss and offer informed and planned responses to students of concern.
