Fisher Care Team

The Care Team is committed to identifying students who may be struggling in order to intervene with strategies that both help students succeed and help keep the Fisher community safe.

About the Care Team

The Care Team at St. John Fisher University reviews situations of concern that involve Fisher students. The team assesses student behavior in order to develop an appropriate response that cares for the student and mitigates disruption to our educational and living environments. 

Fisher’s community cares for one another, and any concerns about a Fisher student may be submitted through the Cardinal Concern form below. The team will review the information during business hours and develop an appropriate response to the concern. A Cardinal Concern report is not for an emergency situation. In an emergency, please contact Safety and Security directly at (585) 385-8111.
