The Dean also introduced a range of facilities and services available at FISIPOL. These include academic services to support students’ administrative and coursework needs, a public relations office open for communication and aspirations from families, the Career Development Center (CDC) to assist with early career development, and psychological services available for students in need of mental health support.
