Other Campus Support
Northwestern is a resource-rich environment with many specialized student support services. HPA advisors often refer pre-health students seeking opportunities or navigating challenges, to campus partners.
HPA advisors also encourage current students to meet regularly with their college and major advisors and to take advantage of the wide range of resources available through the Office of Student Affairs.
Seeking support when needed is a sign of strength and can demonstrate adaptability and resilience.
