Mission
Our mission is to support the optimal growth and development of our students and to provide services and support that will enhance their intellectual, social, cultural and physical development.
Our mission is also guided by the values we express in word and deed:
- Students are whom we educate and serve and our achievements, both as teachers and administrators, is expressed as a function of their achievements as learners and consumers.
- Student Affairs is best defined as an integrating organization that works best when it ‘connects the dots’ among the variety of services and functions that make up the University. We prefer collaboration to isolation.
- We promote an ethical and compassionate view of the world and thus, act with and teach honor and empathy.
- We acknowledge the diversity of identities and means that are represented by our community and seek to support and bridge these distinctions. We aspire to see privileges more equally distributed.
- We are committed to the wellbeing of students, faculty and staff and promote healthy work habits, transparency and reasonableness in performance expectations and freedom of opinion and expression.
