Welcome to Georgia Tech! My staff and I in the Office of the Dean of Students are thrilled to have you join our vibrant community of scholars, innovators, and leaders. As you embark on this exciting journey, we want to ensure that you are aware of the more than 100-year tradition of the Office of the Dean of Students. Each year the staff in my Office meet with many students to discuss the myriad of support services available to help you thrive academically, personally, and professionally.

Georgia Tech is committed to providing you with the resources and support you need to succeed. Whether you need academic assistance, counseling, career guidance, or help with personal matters, our dedicated staff is here to support you every step of the way.

We encourage you to take full advantage of the following support services:

• Academic Support Centers: Visit our academic support centers for tutoring, study groups, writing assistance, and academic advising.
• Counseling Services: The Center for Mental Health Care and Resources offers confidential support for personal, emotional, and mental health concerns.
• Career Services: Explore career opportunities, receive resume assistance, and practice interview skills at our career services center.
• Health Services: Access healthcare professionals, wellness programs, and resources to support your physical and mental well-being.
• Student Organizations: Join one of our many student organizations to connect with peers who share your interests and passions.

If you are unsure where to begin, just email or stop by the Office of the Dean of Students located in Smithgall Student Services Building (also known as the Flag Building) to get some guidance. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We encourage you to reach out whenever you need assistance. Your success is our priority, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
