Mission

The division of Student and Academic Services exists to support and further the mission of the university by developing, delivering, and advocating for services and programs that unite and support students' academic and life pursuits. We encourage and foster student participation while respecting the responsibility of students to avail themselves of all learning. Through the efforts of all of us—students, faculty, staff and alumni—we create a community where the values and responsibilities of the individual and the community are equally supported.
