The mission of the Division of Student Affairs acknowledges the University's vision of a diverse campus community. The division understands that essential general education competencies provide opportunities for critical thinking, problem-solving, effective communication, ethical deliberations, and incorporate multinational perspectives.

Specific to its interpretation of the University's mission, the Division understands the unique developmental progressions of each student and integrates this understanding into support programs and service systems outside the classroom to enhance independent and interdependent functioning and participation in society.
