In Student Affairs, we enjoy strong partnerships with Academic Affairs and others throughout the campus, with a collective focus on student success as it relates to student belonging, student well-being, student engagement, and ensuring students are prepared to perform well academically and persist toward graduation. Our work is rooted in our commitment to the culture of care that permeates our campus.
The Division of Student Affairs is full of incredibly talented professionals who are active in professional associations and our local community. We encourage continuing education, scholarship, and professional engagement, evidenced by the many team members who have published, presented, served on association committees and boards, and earned advanced degrees while at UNCG. Through our close partnership with UNCG’s Higher Education graduate program, our staff have opportunities to work closely with graduate students, by supervising, mentoring, and preparing them to be future professionals.
