UNO has two new resources related to communicating with students that are great for C/Ds, and please share with your faculty and staff.
1. UNO is launching Ask Durango, an SMS based chatbot that helps students find answers about campus resources, academics, and events 24/7. Durango will also check in with students throughout the semester. It goes live the week of November 3.
2. A decision-making flowchart designed to help you identify whether to refer students to DASH, ASC, or the Care Team.
Please forward to the faculty members in your unit.
