Counseling Center COVID-19 Updates:

Updated Counseling Center Services

The Counseling Center is working to adapt services to meet your needs during this difficult and unusual time. To protect the health of students and staff, we will no longer provide in-person services at Boe House after Friday, March 20th. This will remain in effect for the remainder of the academic year or until in-person classes resume on campus in the fall. However, we will continue to offer support services for both current clients and for students who have no prior contact with the Counseling Center.

Accessing Counseling Center Services:

  • Summer Services: A student that is looking for summer services through the Counseling Center must meet one of the criteria listed:
    • Working a summer job for the college
    • Doing summer school at the college and/or living on campus this summer
    • The student must live in the state of Minnesota
  • To schedule a session, please email Alyssa at:  counselingcenterboehouse@stolaf.edu.
  • A student may also email the Counseling Center for  outside resources if they do not meet the summer services criteria.
  • Let’s Talk: Let’s Talk services have ended for the school year but will resume again in fall.

Managing COVID-19 Concerns:
