Student Development and Services

Inherent in the University's educational mission is a commitment to Building Character, Building Careers as well as supporting the University's core values of Integrity, Civility and Responsibility. The central focus of the Student Development and Services division is the personalization of the University experience, with concern for individual intellectual, personal, social, leadership, and physical development. The division is committed to recognizing and assisting in the full realization of student potential. This includes supporting the University's Bill of Rights and Responsibilities, incorporating continuous improvement into all programs and activities, promoting community service and diversity, and instilling the culture of philanthropy throughout the student body.
