The Center for Student Support facilitates student journeys toward wellness and belonging. Staff supports the whole student, offering resources like a food pantry, clothing closet, and lending library and helping students access assistance programs like SNAP. The center also hosts a peer-to-peer support group, which provides a safe place for students to be heard and learn about healthy relationships. This center's dedication to overall care ensures your student can focus on their studies with the support and respect they need to thrive at Puget Sound.

Meet Tiffany Williams and William Holland, Puget Sound’s student success coaches! They guide first-year and transfer students, serving as a helpful resource for academic and personal success and connecting students to various campus departments. Think of them as navigators, steering students new to Puget Sound toward the support they need.
Tiffany and William are all about:
|
- Building collaborative relationships with students to foster success.
- Empowering students to advocate for themselves by nurturing relationships with peers and staff.
- Breaking the stigma around seeking help. They’ve been reaching out since day one and encourage everyone to drop by their space.
