Student Services Organization To Top of Page
Student Services is structured to foster a team approach in order to ensure that all aspects of a student's academic and social development are addressed. The Dean of Students is housed in Student Services to promote an atmosphere of collaboration and collegiality throughout the office. Such an approach acknowledges the fact that student issues seldom break down into neat categories.

The Dean's primary responsibility is to advance a democratic student culture while closely monitoring student academic and personal behavior. The Dean frequently consults and intervenes with counselors and support staff on a full range of student issues. This collaboration is a hallmark of our Student Services Program.
