Please call the UCC at 307-766-2187 to schedule an appointment to get more information.
Non-Traditional Student Support Group
College isn't a one-size-fits-all experience - and neither are the students who attend.
Whether you're returning to school, balancing work or family, a veteran, a parent, transferring, starting college later in life, or simply identify as a non-traditional student, you're welcome here.
Join us for a relaxed, welcoming space to:
- Meet other non-traditional students
- Build meaningful connections
- Share experiences
- Discuss topics related to navigating college and life
This is a peer connection group - not therapy or a confidential support group. The focus is on building community and supporting one another throughout the semester.
Group Dates: Wednesdays
Group Time: 3:00-4:00 pm
Group Location: Knight Hall, Room 244
