DePaul’s Student Government Association provided a review of last quarter’s initiatives, events and activities in their Fall Quarter Transparency Report.
In the report obtained by The DePaulia, SGA discussed ways they worked to support the DePaul community over the past year.
“The past year has been very challenging due to the COVID-19 [pandemic], demands for racial justice, and a historic presidential election, but our commitment to the DePaul community remains the same,” the report reads. “As DePaul’s student government, we expressed student concerns on remote learning, advocated for mental health resources, created safe spaces for dialogue and continuously stood in solidarity with our students of color.”

Suffoletto discussed services offered through University Counseling Services (UCS).
Consisting of a team of psychologists, a psychiatrist and other staff, UCS provides counseling to students in different areas such as depression and test anxiety, according to the office’s website.
Suffoletto explained the steps that students take when seeking counseling services.
“When a student enters, they’re going to do a 15-minute initial consultation,” Suffoletto said.
Students go through an assessment process first so that the office can figure out why a student wants to enter counseling services according to Suffoletto. Then, a student is matched with a counselor and enters counseling.
