Student Support Resources
The Student Support Resources team offers an additional level of support and expertise for students who are navigating any of a wide range of life events. Student Support Resources staff members work in partnership with campus and community resources to provide coordination of care and support appropriate to each student’s situation.

The Student Support Resources Team
After completing his undergraduate studies in geography and environmental studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA at Lewis and Clark College, and working in non-profit organizations, Jacob earned his master's in community counseling at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. As a counselor, Jacob has worked in community behavioral health and in K-12 and higher education settings, most recently at NYU. When not supporting CMU students, Jacob can be found exploring Pittsburgh with his spouse Chelsea and daughter Maxine and playing stringed instruments at old-time and bluegrass jams.
Lucy joined CMU in fall 2021 as a coordinator of Student Support Resources. She helps with short and long term problem solving and supports students across CMU. She has worked in education for more than 15 years in both teaching and student support roles and has a master's in clinical psychology from Antioch University, Seattle. Three of her favorite things are creative projects, watching the Great British Bake Off, and being in the woods.
