The purpose of the Campus Assessment, Response and Evaluation (CARE) Team is to provide early intervention and support to students who may display behavior that causes reason for concern for the welfare of the student and/or the university community, and to assist in promoting the health, safety and welfare of students and other members of the TSU community through education. The focus of the CARE Team is on supporting the local administrators and faculty responsible for the management of students in their response to students who may be exhibiting confusing or potentially threatening signs of pending problems.
