The goals of the Multicultural Suicide Research Center are to advance the field of multicultural suicidology through projects investigating suicide assessment, prevention, and management.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Reporting to the Accounting Manager, the Accounts Payable Accountant provides support for Business Office functional areas with specific responsibility for performing activities related to the timely and accurate payment of authorized check requests / invoices while providing excellent customer service to our students, faculty, vendors, service providers and staff. This relates to all aspects of the daily operation of the Accounts Payable function including the AP help desk.
Palo Alto University (PAU), a private, non-profit university located in the heart of Northern California’s Silicon Valley, is dedicated to addressing pressing and emerging issues in the fields of psychology and counseling to equitably meet the needs of today’s diverse communities. PAU offers undergraduate and graduate programs with online, hybrid and residential options.
People consult the IT Help Desk in many ways: telephone, electronically, or by visiting our office at the main campus in the Facilities Office outside the library. We have the collective expertise to help you with your computing needs. We can also re-route issues to other service areas when necessary. Our goal is to be welcoming and quick in our initial response, thoughtful in the problem solving process, and reliable in our follow-up.
The purpose of SVO is to provide PAU's military veteran students with the resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed in higher education and following graduation; to provide veteran and non-veteran students with information on veterans' issues, including behavioral health related research and military/veteran cultural concerns; and to link veteran and non-veteran students with the local veteran community through events and volunteering opportunities.
Palo Alto University is committed to providing seamless transitions for students who are recalled for military service and their return to the university after deployment. We will ensure students do not face an academic disadvantage as a result of being called to national or international service. When a student (or family member) receives recall orders to active duty or orders to deploy, the student can withdraw from the university with a 100% refund and without financial penalty.
