Office of Student Development
MISSION
The Office of Student Development supports the mission of the college by modeling Cornerstone behaviors that foster the creation of an intentional community, encouraging students to become the best version of themselves and supporting and challenging them to become clear thinking, self-aware ambassadors of good will.
WE EMBRACE THE FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF:
- Contributing to a Learning Community that is welcoming and safe, that serves each student equitably and individually, promotes a life that is healthy and balanced and enhances personal excellence through ongoing educational and developmental programs and services.
- Maintaining an environment that affords both physical and emotional safety and that provides the foundation for personal development and increased self-awareness.
- Offering meaningful opportunities to cultivate civic engagement and responsible citizenship that embraces and appreciates diversity in all forms.
- Creating an environment that instills a sense of individual as well as collective institutional pride through a student-centered approach in the development of institutional policies and procedures.
