Dear Northwestern Students,

We have many, many caring and dedicated people here on the campus who can help and support you.  Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

I encourage you to get to know your professors and everyone here who can support and guide you to success. Whether that is your advisor, the student development center, friends and fellow students, we all want you to be successful. There are many support services here that you can access. A food pantry, if you find yourself without enough food to eat, counseling and referral services, learning disability support and career guidance. We also have financial help for those who really need it. You name it – we can help provide it.

We know that all of our students have challenges and difficult lives.  It is not easy juggling everything.  So if you need some help, know that we are all here to support you.

Have a wonderful fall and spring semester, and stop by and say hello anytime. My office is in the Duffy Administration building, alongside Founders Hall. 

Michael A. Rooke, Ph.D.
