Mission Statement

The Dean of Students Office supports the mission of the University by maintaining a campus environment which is conducive to the recruitment, retention, personal development, and success of students.  Specifically, we advocate for student rights; promote student involvement in the University’s decision-making process; provide a program for new students to help them adjust to college living and learning; and offer services and programs which respond to the needs of diverse constituencies.  The office also ensures the University community functions as freely as possible from disruptive and inappropriate behavior.
