What in h@$& do you think the job of SU is?

Follow every former student to make sure they are okay?  Sure wish Geneseo had reached out to help when I was struggling.  Not sure why SU law didn’t help me pay off my loans.

The likely issue is mental health, (even if there is addiction, the underlying  issue is almost always mental health) and you just can’t force people with mental health issues to get help.  It’s a continuing struggle.  It’s probably the biggest issue that our country faces, and it is still treated as something not to be discussed.

Successfully treated mental health issues would significantly de-populate our jails and prisons, decrease addictions and crime, increase school attendance and academic success, and ultimately help people keep jobs and stabilize families.

SU is also limited in the scope of its ability to provide help.  Just because someone “attended” for a semester or year, is he or she entitled to employment?

Does SU have an ad hoc counseling or inpatient treatment.

And I will add this:  DC, a graduate of SU, armed with his Syracuse education and experience, is reaching out.  SU is, in a very real way, helping.
