Our Mission

Mission Statement

The Gustavus Adolphus College Counseling Center provides a safe and inclusive environment which fosters the wellbeing, resiliency, and holistic development of all students.

Diversity and Inclusivity Statement

The Gustavus Counseling Center is committed to maintaining a community which recognizes and values the inherent worth and dignity of every person; promotes acceptance, sensitivity, understanding, and mutual respect among its members; and encourages each individual to strive to reach their own potential. We believe the diversity among the many members of Gustavus Adolphus College strengthens the institution, stimulates creativity, promotes the exchange of ideas and, enriches campus life.

Equity Statement

The Counseling Center staff is committed to engaging in regular, ongoing self-reflection and continuing education regarding systemic inequity and anti-racism efforts. We will use this knowledge to inform our services and programming, to meet students in their many intersecting identities, and in fostering specific considerations for historically underrepresented and marginalized groups.
