The work of the student life educator at CUA is based on a philosophy that the goal

of education is not simply to develop the intellect of a student, but also to facilitate

the growth of the whole person. The Office of the Vice President for Student Life is

responsible for establishing programs and services to support the development of

the individual student and to enhance the quality of campus community life.

The division is organized into the following offices: athletics; career services; counseling

center, dean of students, including The Center for Academic Success, disability support

services, judicial affairs and ethical development, orientation programs, housing services,

and residence life; public safety; student health services; student medical insurance

administration; and university center and student programs and events.

The vice president provides the leadership for a team of professionals who,

while specializing in specific areas of student development and services, are

committed to interdisciplinary initiatives to enable students to fully participate

in a distinguished community of researching, teaching, learning and service. The

religious and moral dimension of growth is facilitated in close collaboration with

the Office of Campus Ministry.

The Student Handbook and other publications issued from time to time by

departments are produced to help guide students through their individual and

community responsibilities. It is important for all students to become familiar

with the information provided and to use the resources by accessing the most

up-to-date versions of services, programs, policies and procedures online.
