About Us

Student Affairs

Our Mission

Student Affairs provides inclusive, individualized care that empowers students to thrive.

What We Value

Individualized Support and Advocacy

We value the needs, well-being, and success of every person in our community. We are committed to developing and delivering experiences that provide purposeful assistance, advocacy, and support

Equity and Inclusion

We believe that access and representation lead to equity. We are committed to ensuring that our policies, programs, services, and spaces are inclusive and accessible to all Huskies. We champion the promise of equity and justice in our community by removing barriers to access.

Community and Leadership

We recognize the uniqueness of each student and support their growth and development through meaningful involvement and leadership opportunities. We work to cultivate a community that offers space for every student to connect and contribute in a way that inspires and builds Husky pride.

Learning and Development

As educators, we understand that learning occurs both inside and outside the classroom. We facilitate a student-centered community that prioritizes the learning and development of the whole person so each Husky may reach their full potential. We encourage students to think critically, engage in new experiences, and consider multiple perspectives as they foster a sense of identity, resilience, and life purpose.

Well-being

We affirm and model holistic wellness as an essential component for student success. We provide resources to care for physical and emotional well-being. We promote various forms of fun, play, and recreation as opportunities for students to engage, connect, relieve stress and develop lifelong self-care skills.

Integrity

We model integrity for our students by holding ourselves accountable through collaboration, student-centered decision making, and transparent assessment to evaluate and improve the impact of our work.
