Our Mission
 The
mission of the Student Affairs Program is to support the mission of the
College in its various roles and relationships, an educationally centered
approach to human development in order to prepare students to become successful
citizens of the campus community and of a diverse world.
Student Affairs professionals are educators who share responsibility
with faculty, academic administrators, other staff and students for creating
conditions under which students are likely to dedicate time and energy
in educationally-purposeful activities. It is a goal of the Student Affairs
Program, through the work and leadership of its staff, to develop and
implement appropriate policies, procedures and practices, and provide
quality student services, skilled staff and various programs to assist
students with their transition and adjustment to college life. These efforts
help to raise students’ aspirations and enhance their overall skills.
The Student Affairs Program fosters student learning and personal development
in a manner that results in students’ living, learning and growing
while college, and helps them acquire skills that will enable them to
live productive, satisfying lives after they graduate.
Students benefit and achieve the highest level of learning if they participate
in a broad array of college experiences over an extended period of time.
These experiences; combined with the Student Affairs services
and programs; help to share students’ overall development in and
out of the classroom.
Student Affairs staff work to build an environment on campus that is
supportive and inclusive. We work hard to have staff be current, accessible,
helpful and caring. It is our goal to help students whenever necessary
with whatever concerns, issues, problems, and/or crises that may arise.
In doing this, we work to create a caring community that values students,
and their safety, offers strong personal support, and provides quality
student services.
The Student Affairs offices include over 50 professional and
clerical staff, 70 para-professional staff and over 150 student staff.
Each of these dedicated individuals works within one of 14 student service
areas.
