Maryville College is committed to the success, health, and well-being of all students. The MC Cares Team was developed to provide proactive, collaborative, holistic support to students and to protect the health and safety of the entire campus community. The MC Cares Team is not meant to take the place of faculty and staff conversations with students who are showing signs of difficulty. Rather, the Team is a supplement to the ongoing support offered by campus employees.
Any behavior that threatens the educational environment or jeopardizes the safety of the campus community should be reported to the MC Cares team.
