Living our Values by Building a Community of Care
At Angelo State, “Ram Family” is more than just a saying; it’s a culture. We take care of our own, and we stop at nothing to make sure you succeed. ASU CARES is an umbrella of care-related programs and resources dedicated to fostering a caring Ram Family. It takes all of us as faculty, staff, students and friends to care for one another.

CARES Team
The CARES Team provides individualized support and guidance for ASU students encountering significant difficulties. We do this through advocacy and supportive endeavors to empower students and help promote their success in school and in life. We use a care-coordinated approach involving assessment, intervention plans, and referrals to resources.
We coordinate across campus and in the community for students referred for personal, emotional, mental health and/or academic concerns.
