Campus services to support your growth

Student Affairs Class Deans

Class Deans provide student support that will enhance the college experience; including outreach and programs, one-on-one support, and resource referrals to aid students in making meaningful connections across campus. Students are encouraged to contact the appropriate class dean:

Student Health and Counseling

Academic difficulties are sometimes related to physical or mental health issues. If you are concerned that your health may be causing academic difficulties, please make an appointment with the appropriate office in Student Health and Counseling.

Student Health Center
Located in the lower level of Davis Hall (you will need your University card to enter). To make an appointment call (540) 458-8401.

The Counseling Center
Located on the first floor of Early-Fielding. To make an appointment, call (540) 458-8590. Email: counseling@wlu.edu.

Peer Counselors
The Peer Counseling Program is a team of student volunteers dedicated to helping other students experiencing emotional problems.

Recognizing that students often feel most comfortable talking with friends about life issues, Peer Counselors receive extensive training on how to help other students. They are not therapists, but act as friends who are knowledgeable about the kinds of emotional issues affecting students and campus resources.

Students with Disabilities

Washington and Lee University is committed to providing equal access to educational opportunities to qualified students with physical or mental disabilities, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The W&L Office of Career and Professional Development supports and empowers students and alumni to discover, navigate and achieve their career and professional goals through hands-on advising and tailored resources, programs and events.

Career Fellows
Career Fellows introduce W&L undergraduate students to Career and Professional Development (CPD) resources and partner with peers to craft professional documents and navigate the job and internship search.

They have availability to assist with resumes, cover letters, mock interviews, networking, and more. You may schedule an appointment in Handshake or email careers@wlu.edu with questions.

Residence Life Staff

The residence life staff is comprised of sophomore, junior and senior student leaders.

Resident Advisers (RA's) work with First-Year students in the First-Year residence halls.

Community Assistants (CA's) work with upper-division students in The Village, Woods Creek apartments and theme houses.

Residents should always feel free to call upon their RA/CA for advice and information.

Inclusion and Engagement

The Class of 1994 Office of Inclusion and Engagement supports the university's mission by striving to foster a culture in which all members of the community feel fully welcome and able to participate in everything Washington and Lee has to offer. Toward this end, OIE develops programs that explore, promote and celebrate the increasingly diverse backgrounds of our students, faculty and staff.
