Introduction |
Life at Jacobs University is likely to be a period of intellectual and cultural stimulation, self exploration, personal growth, and career development. It may also be a period of experimentation in which students assume new roles, face new academic and social challenges, and may even come to question certain values and beliefs they hold.
The goal of the Counseling Center is to actively assist students in resolving existing problems, preventing potential problems, and developing new skills that will enrich their lives and will help them cope with challenges. Counseling services include individual counseling, group counseling, workshops, outreach activities, referral services, and self-help materials among many others.
The Counseling Center is particularly committed to developing and maintaining a positive psychological climate on campus as well as to fostering respect for cultural pluralism within the Jacobs University community. |

For more than 6 years they have been in charge of the psychological services on campus, including individual and group counseling services, psychometric testing, need analysis, outreach programs, and personal development workshops. Recently Jessica Price, MA from El Salvador and Dipl.-Psych Angelika von Rohden from Bremen joined the team. You can contact the counselors directly or at counseling@jacobs-university.de |
