Student Affairs
Partnering with Faculty to Support Student Success
Who We Are
The Student Affairs division is comprised of a dedicated team of professionals committed to supporting students both inside and outside the classroom. Our staff work collaboratively to promote student success, well-being, engagement, accessibility, retention, and completion through a comprehensive network of programs, services, and resources. Services within the division include disability support, student wellness and behavioral health services, basic needs assistance, student advocacy, student life and leadership development, academic support, firstyear transition programming, and individualized student success initiatives.
Our team includes accessibility specialists, student life professionals, success specialists, TRIO professionals, first-year / support center personnel, and campus engagement leaders who share a common goal— helping students overcome barriers and connect with the resources they need to thrive.
Working in partnership with faculty and staff across the College, Student Affairs supports students facing academic, personal, financial, social, or behavioral challenges, while also creating opportunities for involvement, leadership, belonging, and personal growth. We believe student success is a shared responsibility, and that every positive interaction helps students remain engaged, persist through challenges, and achieve their educational goals.
