The Care and Concern Team (CCT) is an interdisciplinary group of university professionals that meet weekly to discuss students whose behavior or well-being causes an elevated concern. The CCT works together in collaboration to collect information, evaluate risk, and develop supportive intervention plans.
The CCT will utilize the National Association for Behavioral Intervention Teams (NaBITA) Threat Assessment Model as well as additional resources to identify, assess, and intervene in response to problematic situations affecting student success and the education and operational processes of the university.
