When students arrive at the University of Denver we want them to know that they are in a supportive and caring environment, with students, faculty and staff that are eager to help them in their journey. There are many activities they will participate in during their Discoveries Orientation week (such as meeting with their faculty advisor, connecting with fellow students, and registering for classes) designed to assist them in making a smooth transition to campus. As they settle in to life at DU, they can begin to take advantage of the opportunities that will help them develop new skills, connections and overall wellness.
Writing Center
Students may bring any writing project to the Writing Center and we will work with writers in every subject area, from engineering to English and business to biology. We will work with you at any point in the writing process: brainstorming, developing a thesis, organizing, revising, using sources, and editing. Our help is meant to foster strong critical thinking and decision-making. Writers can meet with a Writing Center consultant once per day per writing project.

Center for Multicultural Excellence
The Center for Multicultural Excellence (CME) helps prepare students for successful living, learning and employment in highly diverse settings. In addition to providing support services for traditionally underrepresented communities, CME also engages the entire campus community in awareness training and education, multicultural skill building, conflict de-escalation, coalition-building and proactive programming. CME offers all DU students a variety of opportunities for involvement and leadership in programming that includes retreats, dialogues, movie discussions and peer facilitation and mentorship.
Health and Counseling
The Health & Counseling Center is an on-campus facility that provides a wide range of on-site medical and mental health services. Physicians, nurses, psychologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other professionals staff the DU HCC. We see individuals with a wide range of concerns from birth control, travel immunizations, stress, homesickness, career decision-making, relationship problems and GLBTIQ related issues, to more serious problems such as eating disorders, trauma, or depression and anxiety disorders. All students enrolled for academic credit (full-time or part-time, undergraduate or graduate) may use the HCC.
University Chaplain
The Office of the University Chaplain helps students maintain connection with the faith traditions of their youth, working with campus ministers of various religions. In addition, the Chaplain is always available for conversation and counsel to help all students explore their spiritual possibilities. Visit the Chaplain's website at www.du.edu/religiouslife.
