Helping students discover calling

Divisional Planning Themes

These are prioritized division-wide planning themes that help Student Life develop our goals in alignment with the University's Strategic Plan. The leadership of the Division of Student Life is currently in the process of developing its next five-year plan in alignment with the University’s forthcoming strategic plan. It will be accessible here by the early Spring 2025 semester.
