Cash also can make referrals for testing, which Psychological Services provides at a great savings to the student. An estimated 3-5 percent of people suffer a learning disability in a population of UC's size, according to psychologist Debjani Sinha, coordinator of testing and assessment at the Psychological Services Center. Furthermore, Psychological Services has vocational and career counseling. Norton says students who have not declared a major are at a higher risk of dropping out of school. Psychological Services provides other outreach efforts by bringing guest speakers to student functions and class discussions to University College and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Topics cover everything from conflict resolution and stress management to overcoming test anxiety.
Psychological Services can be contacted by calling 556-0648. Anna Cash also can be reached through that number. Rob Hayden works at the satellite office 10 a.m.-noon Mondays.
