Resources for Students
This page includes resources that are available on this website, on campus, and on the web. All are trusted, reliable sources of information that the SWAs themselves use!
On-Campus Resources:
- Ask A SWA Questions: The "Ask a SWA" page has been replaced by SHAC's Phone Triage system. If you have a wellness-related question, please call SHAC at 507-222-4080 during open hours and ask to speak to the Phone Triage provider.
- SWAs: The SWAs themselves are an excellent resource for Carleton students. The linked webpage contains contact information for all of the SWAs.
- SWA Stall/SWA Bulletin Board: SWA stalls have moved from residence halls to public buildings. Within these SWA stalls is a wealth of information about: SHAC, SWAs, upcoming events (e.g. flu shots, speakers visiting campus), how to purchase condoms on campus from AHA, after-hours medical attention, who to contact in an emergency, and more! The SWAs are working bring the same information to upperclassmen through passive programming and campus-wide events.
- Student Health and Counseling (SHAC) Staff: SHAC staff members are primary resources for all questions that the SWAs have, and are an excellent resource for students. You can make an appointment with any of the medical or mental health professionals by calling SHAC at x4080. Visit SHAC's website for more information.
