Student Counselling &<br />
Health Services Available<br />
Counselling at Huron University College<br />
While many faculty and staff members are pleased to advise students, those students<br />
facing personal problems, academic difficulties, or simply seeking personal and academic<br />
counsel, are recommended to arrange appointments with one of the following individuals.<br />
All discussions of a personal nature are confidential.<br />
Academic Advising<br />
Academic Advisor – Ms. Diana Bumstead, ext. 252<br />
Academic Advisor – Mrs. Meg Thorne, ext. 276<br />
The Academic Advisor provides advice on several aspects of students’ academic lives<br />
including: program choice, course selection, and general vocational choice. Frequently,<br />
conversations initiated ostensibly to discuss the above will touch on other aspects<br />
of students’ lives including: relations with parents, relations with peers and friends,<br />
and general life circumstances. This is only natural and is certainly helpful in understanding<br />
a student’s academic needs. However, it is important that counselling of this sort not<br />
be mistaken for psychological counselling.<br />
Chaplain<br />
Father Chris Kelly, Administration Wing, ext. 294<br />
The Chaplain is available for the following forms of counselling: pastoral counselling, spiritual<br />
direction, assisting students in crisis, supportive listening, referral to other services, and grief<br />
support. In addition to these services, the Chaplain is involved in education with regard<br />
to marriage and other sacraments. The chaplain does not provide notes of absence<br />
to students for exams or class requirements except in cases of severe loss, for example<br />
the death of a family member.<br />
