The mission of the Office of the Dean of Students is to educate students about the rights and responsibilities of membership in an academic community, and in doing so, help students prepare to be ethical and engaged citizens.

The Dean of Students is primarily responsible for administering the student discipline process; coordinating parent and family programs; and supervising Residence Life, Counseling and Student Development, and Student Health Services.  The Dean of Students reports to the Vice President for Student Affairs.   

The Office of the Dean of Students is also a place students can go if they need assistance and are not sure how to obtain resources or answers to their questions.
