Our Vision
To provide exceptional opportunities, advocacy and support for every student to become a responsible and open minded citizen
Our Mission
Student Affairs is dedicated to students' growth and development outside of the formal classroom. We create opportunities and experiences for students to challenge and broaden their individual perspective, to advance their personal and professional growth, to encourage healthy decision making, and to foster leadership characteristics. Our goal is to cultivate students who will positively contribute to a future role in the workforce and in society.
