Student Counseling Virtual Pamphlet Collection

The Student Counseling Virtual Pamphlet Collection is a collection of articles from university counseling centers across the U.S. on topics specific to student concerns. A virtual pamphlet put out by another university may refer to services available only to students at that university. BSU students should, of course, contact instead the BSU Counseling Center. Opinions expressed in a virtual pamphlet from one university do not necessarily reflect those of Bemidji State University.
