To support students in achieving their potential, as well as personal and academic successes, SMU is committed to building a resilient community by providing encouragement, support and assistance to students and promoting students’ holistic wellbeing.
In SMU, there are dedicated Student Care Officers (SCOs) who actively engage with students to help address stressors (e.g. transition challenges) and develop their abilities to make well-informed choices towards a flourishing life. Student Care Officers are involved in the operationalisation of the SMU Resilience Framework – such as planning and executing wellbeing initiatives and early intervention measures that include education, prevention, and outreach programmes.
What we do
The SCO CARES for you!
CHECK IN WITH US!
Look out for the SCOs as they roam the campus in their regular outreach, offering encouragement and snack treats to students. You can also catch them at campus roadshows, where they dispense tips to empower students to take charge of their own wellbeing.
You can also get in touch with the Student Care Officers at studentcare@smu.edu.sg or via Instagram @sgsmu.studentcare.
