Campus Support Resources
Through the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, we offer support to undocumented students through EMUS (EMpowering Undocumented Students), a task force of NLU staff dedicated to providing guidance and resources. Additionally, undocumented student liaisons and EMUS student ambassadors, also part of this office, are available to assist and advocate for your needs. Contact emus@nl.edu. We encourage you to prioritize your mental health and well-being by connecting with our counseling and wellness resources.
