We are invested in your growth, development, and success! The Dean of Students works in partnership with faculty and staff to create a community of support for students in their academic and professional development. The role of the Dean of Students is to develop relationships to provide individual guidance and support, provide clarity of policies and procedures, share connections to resources, and coordinate services to support concerns and issues.

Faculty advisors serve as mentors and guides. They provide professional development feedback, connect you to resources, and help you troubleshoot obstacles and concerns. Additionally, advisors serve as a bridge to professional practice, helping you build your professional network and transition to the role of provider.

Student mentors share their personal experience to help you thrive in graduate school. Mentors are available for brief or longer-term informal support. They also organize social events, workshops, and affinity groups.

Affinity groups are organized by student mentors to support community belonging and skill-building. If you would like to start your own affinity group, email Dr. Leeder with the following information: Name of group, scheduled meetings, contact information, who is invited to attend, and a short description of your group and its aims.

The DEI office works to support a culture of belonging through individual student support, group support, consultation, trainings, and strategic planning.

You may consider additional opportunities outside the classroom to deepen your involvement with the Wright Institute community as you launch your career in the behavioral health field. Students may serve in leadership roles with the Executive Committee, Diversity Committee, or DEI Fellowship, or as a student mentor. You can also engage with the community through faculty forum events, student-led groups, and affinity groups. A handful of teaching assistant (TA) positions and work study positions are also available each year.
