Angry student confronting a professor Being a college student can present a host of challenges. Some students struggle to adapt to college life along with considerable family and personal problems. Faculty and staff are often in a position to recognize students who are at risk. Identifying the signs of at-risk behavior and responding in a timely manner may be a significant part of linking the student with the appropriate campus resources.

Marked changes in academic performance, a noticeable decline in personal appearance and/or a student repeatedly engaging in disruptive behaviors in class can all be signs of a student in crisis.

The purpose of the NVC SOBI team is to provide a confidential means for early intervention of at-risk students through collaboration with campus departments, faculty and staff. While some behaviors or threats require more decisive action, our primary goal is NOT to “get students in trouble”, but rather to find ways to reach out, support, and help that student be successful.

Please see the SOBI Brochure for information on how to spot the warning signs of at-risk behaviors and how to report incidents and concerns. The SOBI Quick Guide also contains many helpful details including a list of potentially problematic behaviors and situations along with recommendations of how and where to obtain help for students in distress.
