Resources to Assist With Challenging Student Behavior
For any situation where there is a concern about student behavior, we recommend that
faculty/staff start by consulting with Lynn Gregory, Personal Counselor and Consultant.
In addition to providing counseling services to students, Lynn provides consultation
to faculty, staff and administrators regarding students' emotional well-being, managing
challenging student behavior, and related campus issues. She serves as the liaison
between faculty/staff and the Dean of Students Office, she manages the Student Assessment
and Intervention Team (SAIT), and she regularly provides training to the College community
about student behavior. These trainings can be requested and customized for a particular
College work area, Department or Division.
In individual consultations, Lynn can provide information, training, and support regarding
how best to manage students' emotional/behavioral issues that surface in the classroom,
in offices, or in other areas around the college.
