I. JOB OVERVIEW


Job Description Summary:
The Division for Student Affairs empowers the personal and academic development of our diverse community of students. We foster inclusive communities for belonging; provide leadership opportunities and activities; and support students’ physical, mental, and collective well-being. Our service prepares students for a life of learning, engaged citizenship, and care for themselves and others.
The Student Health Center (SHC) at the George Washington University (GW) is a multidisciplinary, integrated student healthcare service that provides confidential, student-centered care in an accessible, safe, culturally sensitive, and supportive environment. The SHC seeks to promote healthy lifestyle choices and to holistically support the physical and emotional well-being of students in order to achieve academic success.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) serves all GW students and engages the entire campus community, working to build a campus culture of support and connection with student mental health. CAPS supports mental health and personal development by collaborating directly with students to overcome challenges and difficulties that may interfere with academic, emotional, and personal success. Counselors provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment for students to discuss concerns. The CAPS team is committed to respecting and promoting the value of diversity and inclusion at the university, as well as providing culturally sensitive counseling and psychological services to the university community.
The George Washington University is committed to its tradition of engaged leadership that values inclusion and equity; we strive to uphold those values by providing education and support for traditionally underrepresented students, including BIPOC students, members of the LGBTQ+ community, first-generation students, immigrant and migrant students, and international students.
