Laura Ebner

As student care coordinator, Laura Ebner C’02 oversees Disability Services, manages the campus early alert system, and supports students with mental health and wellness needs. “I want students to know that their mental health and well-being are important,” she says.

Ebner completed her graduate studies at Garret Theological Seminary and Colorado State University, became a licensed marriage and family therapist, and worked as a clinical counselor at the Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, providing treatment for a diverse community of clients.

In 2017 Ebner returned to North Park as the university’s student success learning specialist, working to ensure that accommodation services on campus reflected a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. She continues to walk alongside students as student care coordinator, supporting the development of their skills and the actualization of their potential.
