Values

Our values represent beliefs and principles that drive the culture and priorities of the Division of Student Affairs and provide the crucial framework under which decisions are made.

Student Development

Creating services, environments, and programs that develop students along intellectual, cognitive, social, moral, and identity dimensions.

Personal and Social Responsibility 

Educating students to strive for excellence, cultivate personal and academic integrity, contribute to a larger community, take seriously the perspectives of others and develop competence in ethical and moral reasoning and action.

Holistic Wellness

Cognitive, cultural, emotional, environmental, financial, physical, social, and spiritual wellness is the prerequisite for student success.

Diversity

A diverse and international community that includes and respects different ethnicities, genders, sexualities, abilities, cultures, and world-views multiplies our capacity to advance student success.

Engagement

An engaged student body cares about the community, fully participates in the life of the university, connects classroom content to real-life situations, and integrates learning into their understanding of the world around them. Engaged students perform better academically and persist to graduation.
