Student Services & Student Affairs

Our staff creates a welcoming and safe environment for students by providing guidance on personal, academic, and professional issues.  We connect students with resources on and off campus, and facilitate relationships among students, faculty, and staff. We encourage students to meet with us when you have suggestions for improvements or when you need answers, help, and support. Have a question about your schedule or need advice about how to approach a professor? Want to propose a new student organization or talk to someone about a noisy neighbor? Our open-door policy means that we're always here to listen and point you in the right direction.
