Columbia College Chicago is pleased to announce the launch of the TimelyCare platform, bringing students greater access to medical and mental health support, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week!
Students will need to first register their profile through the TimelyCare platform: timelycare.com/colum, think of this as filling out the paperwork on a clipboard before you see a provider in their office.
Dr. Douglas Eck joined the Columbia College Chicago community in September 2021. Originally from the western Illinois region, Dean Eck earned his Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from Western Illinois University. While at WIU, Dean Eck was involved in many facets of Student Affairs work, from leading a student organization and being a Resident Assistant, to serving on the Judicial Board and working as an Orientation Leader. "I credit my time at WIU for opening so many doors to student success to me. WIU exposed me to the career possibilities in Student Affairs; what was my passion in undergrad remains my passion as professional!"
Dean Eck earned his Master of Arts in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the Ohio State University and a Doctorate in Education from City University in Seattle. Dr. Eck's dissertation analyzed the variables likely to influence organizational and institutional commitment among student affairs professionals. Prior to joining Columbia, Dean Eck served as an Assistant Dean of Students at the University of Houston; Associate Director of Residence Life at Lake Forest College, and multiple roles in student housing at OSU.
"Not only am I excited to return to Illinois and live in my favorite city, but it is an honor to support so many students who are passionate about their studies and focused on so many fields of creativity. There is no more rewarding experience as a professional than watching students become masters of their craft."
