Student Life Staff

Mission

The Office of Student Life promotes a college climate that develops the whole student. We seek to create a community that is in step with contemporary issues and concerns. Furthermore, the Office of Student Life creates purposeful opportunities to foster student, faculty, and staff interaction through the development of social, cultural, multicultural, intellectual, recreational, community service and campus governance programs and activities. As a result of participation in Student Life, Judicial Affairs, and Health Services a student should be able to: 

• Explain or demonstrate their positive impact on his or her community

• Employ skills that demonstrate self-awareness and deepen personal mastery
