Our Mission

The Division of Student Affairs is charged with supporting and participating in the academic mission of the University. We seek to maintain and enhance a purposeful, open, just, disciplined, caring, and celebrative community. We value integrity, dedication, commitment, and social responsibility and seek to promote the intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual development of our students. We are committed to optimizing student development through excellence in services, programs, and facilities.

Our commitment to students and their development extends to those of diverse groups. Celebrating diversity within our student population, Student Affairs programs and services assist all students to become active, successful, and satisfied participants within our academic community.
