The Office of the Dean of Students collaborates with students, faculty, and staff on all things student life.

Mission

The mission of the Division of Student Life is to educate students through purposeful experiences as they develop their personal, intellectual, social, spiritual, and ethical selves. We embrace students by providing opportunities to develop meaningful relationships, engage with them in creating a vibrant campus community through intentional programming, and empower them to use their gifts to make a difference in the world.
