Student Life

Mission

The student life division has two primary missions: first, to support the academic mission of the College by fostering a community atmosphere that cultivates success while offering co-curricular opportunities that complement the classroom. Second, to implement programs to create experiences that promote student involvement, personal growth and development and integrity. We embrace the differences that make us individuals while celebrating the traditions that make us a community.

Additionally, graduate students are welcome to search for their own housing solutions.
