Student Life Mission
The mission of the Student Life Division is to foster an engaging, supportive, and culturally vibrant living and learning environment where each student feels they belong. This sense of belonging extends to all aspects of the student experience; in the classroom, in the residence halls, in the dining hall, or attending an event.
