Mission
Inherent in the University’s educational mission is a commitment to the total development of all students. The division of Student Affairs, under the direction of the vice president, is administratively responsible for the implementation of this commitment. The central focus of the Student Affairs division, therefore, is the personalization of the university experience, with concern for not only individual intellectual development, but for personal, social and physical development as well. The division is committed to recognizing and assisting in the realization of human potential, which includes promotion of the concepts of safety, freedom, justice, individual dignity and the right of the dissenter and openness of mind.
