Student Health Services

Student Health Services provides acute medical care and promotes the development of wellness and healthy lifestyles for students in a safe, non-judgmental manner. We focus on helping students achieve and maintain a level of physical health and wellness than enables them to fulfill their academic responsibilities and succeed at completing their degree programs.

All currently enrolled McNeese students are eligible for treatment for no charge at the time of service. Health Services is funded by the assessed student health fee that students pay each semester, and staffed by a McNeese provider. Students will no longer receive billing statements from Healthcare Services provided within our clinic, except in cases involving laboratory work or X-rays.

Ashley Bass

I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.

My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.”  I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.

In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.

ADVISOR FOR:
  • College of Liberal Arts (excluding music)
  • Burton College of Education (ELEM and EDPR majors)
