SUPPORT FOR FACULTIES/ DEPARTMENTS
The OSSD, through its Psychological Counsellor, continued to engage in outreach and support to various faculties and departments. The objective was to facilitate student success while ensuring that students’ needs were met, and that faculty and staff received the necessary support and guidance when interfacing with students who presented with psychosocial difficulties. In this regard, presentations were delivered to the Faculty of Science and Technology, Faculty of Humanities and Education, Faculty of Medical Sciences and School for Graduate Studies and Research. Presentations were also delivered to associations such as the Medical Students’ Association and the Cave Hill Association of Postgraduate Students (CHAPS). PROGRAMMING SUPPORT The Psychological Counsellor continued to provide programming support for the various programmes provided for students as a means of facilitating their personal and academic success. An Inclusive Campus Providing support for students with disabilities continued to be prioritised. The OSSD, in collaboration with several other Campus Units, continued to play a very pivotal role in developing, coordinating and implementing initiatives that allowed students with disabilities to have equal access to all teaching and learning opportunities. The Campus cele- brated Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on May 19, 2022.
