DU’s Pioneers CARE outreach program helps find solutions for students with academic, social and other problems.

Anyone in the campus community can submit a report to us about a student that might benefit from our services. We review these reports to understand each student issue and the on- and off-campus resources that can guide them to success.

Student Outreach & Support staff also create action plans for students to use after an outreach has been made.

If you know of a student who could benefit from our services, we encourage you to submit a Pioneers CARE report. We also encourage you to submit a report about any outreach you’ve made.

When working with students, try identifying signs or stressrs. These signs may include but are not limited to:

• Academic difficulty
• Difficulties with family/home environment
• Difficulties with adjusting to the college experience
• Excessive or unexplained absences
• Financial concerns
• Mental health issues
• Physical health issues
• Relationship issues
• Self-harm concerns
• Unable to locate a student
• Witness to an incident

A note about confidentiality:
As a part of this process, we work very hard to maintain confidentiality for students so they trust the work we’re doing. As a result, if you submit a report, we don’t generally report back or communicate with you about the details of how we’ll be working with individual students.

A Pioneers CARE report is not for emergencies.  If there is an immediate threat to a student (either through self-harm or interpersonal violence) or the community, please call Campus Safety at 303-871-3000, or if dialing from a campus phone, 1-3000.

If you have a concern about our reporting process, please contact the Pioneers CARE administrator.
