Personal Counseling
Counseling services are available to all students, faculty and staff. Frequently raised questions or concerns include relationships, dating, anxiety, depression, family, eating disorders or low self esteem. The campus counselors’ offices are located in Smith Center and Erb Hall. Contact the Student Life Office to make an appointment.
The counselor makes referrals to area mental health services if requested by the student or if longer intervention is needed. The counselor also refers persons who need evaluation for self-destructive or potentially life-threatening behaviors.
Campus Lifestyle Standards
To foster community, enhance the campus experience, assist in students’ maturation and provide a safe learning and living environment, Hesston College has adopted a set of campus lifestyle standards to which all members of the college community are required to abide. These standards reflect Christian faith and commitment and promote wellness. A student’s signature on the application for admission or the affirmation of college lifestyle standards form indicates that he or she understands and agrees to keep these standards, regardless of whether the standards represent the individual’s conviction or preference. Consult the Hesston College Student Handbook in the Student Life section of the Hesston College website (www.hesston.edu) for the list of standards as well as the enforcement and appeals procedures that the college employs when individuals break the standards.

The international student advisor is also available for counseling and advising in matters related to cultural adjustment, dormitory and roommate concerns, transfer to other colleges and other concerns or problems that may occur.
North American students are also welcomed to utilize the international student advisor’s services for counseling and advising related to issues or concerns that affect the college’s unique mix of many cultures and backgrounds.
