Division of Student Life

The Division of Student Life believes in the holistic development of the individual student. It recognizes that while students are here to pursue an academic curriculum and receive a degree, a full education of the individual is only possible when what one learns in the classroom is experienced in direct or indirect ways outside the classroom; vice-versa the experiences that a student has outside the classroom strengthens their ability to fully understand the academic material. Our purpose, therefore, is to create an environment where our students will be able to explore and advance their intellectual, social, physical, emotional, ethical, and cultural facets that make them an integrated individual. We believe in their talent and that, through engaged service on our part and responsible, active leadership on their part, we can learn and grow in a mutually beneficial relationship.
