You can now find the Dean of Students Office, Counseling and Psychological Services and OWLS Care Health Promotion in one location above the Food Court on the Breezeway, in the Student Services Suite #8.  

We are excited to announce the completion of a major space renovation for the Division of Student Affairs. The Dean of Students, and Counseling and Psychological Services departments will return to the SS-8 building, above the food court on the Boca Raton Campus Breezeway. We are also excited to share the Owls Care Health Promotion Department will be joining them in this newly renovated location.  

The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) department provides students with timely and effective mental health services that allow them to improve and maintain their mental well-being.  This assists students to help meet their educational, personal, emotional, and psychological goals. The new office features a new relaxation room, a fully renovated welcome area and even massage chairs! So, please stop by and learn more about all we have to offer.

The Dean of Students Office (DOS) also returns to this location. Their office helps students as they matriculate the University’s degree programs. DOS includes Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution as well as Victim Services. The renovated area also now is home to the OWLS Care Health Promotion (OCHP), which empowers students to be healthy, responsible and successful.

The exhibit features the artwork of FAU students with the intention of highlighting the healing power of art, increasing visibility of CAPS, reducing stigma of mental health services, and increasing inclusivity across campus.
