Counseling Services
Being successful in college isn’t just a matter of performing well in the classroom.
Sandburg students routinely balance the conflicting demands of family, work and
life events with the demands of college. These challenges can quickly become
overwhelming. The counseling staff at Sandburg offers students confidential
support and guidance from an approachable staff of trained professionals. In
most cases, students get the help they need in one or two visits, but more time
is available if needed. The counseling staff is also experienced with the process of
referring students when help from an outside agency is needed.
Sandburg counselors are available to discuss issues including anxiety, depression,
sexual assault, domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders and
gender identity issuesamong many more. No matter the size of your concerns,
the Sandburg counseling staff is there for you. To make an appointment with a
counselor, call or stop by Student Services:

CAREER COUNSELING SERVICES
Choosing a career and an appropriate college major can be daunting. Recent high
school graduates are sometimes reluctant to commit to a major (and a career) for
which they have little or no practical experience to support their decision. Some
prefer to delay their decision because they’re confident that better options will
surface over time, while others worry whether their career choice will result in
employment in their profession after they graduate.
Each of these concerns are valid and relatively common. The good news is
that help is available to Sandburg students for the asking. The Sandburg career
counseling staff can address your concerns and help you to feel confident about
the career path that you choose. Individual career counseling appointments are
available by appointment and through Skype.
