Student Affairs

The Division of Student Affairs fosters responsible leadership through a focus on intellectual and personal growth in a liberal arts community. We support the integration of learning and student life, seeking to empower all students to reach their full potential as critical thinkers who live, work, and serve in complex communities.

We also champion and empower a diverse community through access to programming, services, and activities in order to create a sense of belonging.

We strive to serve authentically a community of life-long learners on their path to self-discovery.
