NEWCOPE's mission is:

To provide students with support through resources and information as well as promoting awareness on issues related to eating disorders, weight, and body image.

In a decade when the media inundates us with the message "thin is in," many young men and women struggle to come to terms with their own body image. Recently, under the direction of Dr. Emily Fox Kales, a group of students initiated a program called NEWCOPE to respond to the needs of students.

With the support of many departments, including the Psychology Department, NEWCOPE has been able to establish a drop-in center. Here, students can receive empathic listening, find informative resources such as books, pamphlets, and videotapes, and obtain referrals to outside treatment centers if necessary.
