Counseling Staff
Counselors are available by appointment or on a walk-in basis. Stop by and see us
for your educational, career and disabilities needs. We are always here to help. You

by calling (231) 591-3057, or through email at

college, see the listings below. The counseling process is designed to teach you how
to explore your academic and career options, examine your strengths, and set goals
that will carry you throughout your lifetime. Disabilities Services is here to serve
and advocate for students with disabilities, empowering them for self-reliance and
independence while promoting equal access to educational opportunities and programs.
