We are here for you.
Online or on campus, we are one Volunteer family.
Many of our students have been affected by recent hurricanes. We want to express our heartfelt concern during this challenging time and offer our support. Your well-being is our top priority. Please reach out if you have questions, need assistance with academic matters, or need help locating support in your area. We encourage you to communicate any individual course concerns to your instructor so they can provide the necessary assistance.
