Division of Student Affairs

The Division of Student Affairs is committed to supporting students and their families in their transition to UNC and in their personal and academic success. As educators, we know students thrive when they know they matter and when they are both challenged and supported as they learn and encounter new experiences.

Because we want our students to thrive, we provide resources, tools, and opportunities to create a student experience focused on learning, by:

  • Creating a strong sense of belonging and campus connection
  • Promoting diverse, equitable and inclusive environments
  • Developing career readiness
  • Supporting wellness and healthy options
  • Getting involved, giving back, and developing leadership talent

Please take a moment to view our website to learn about the resources available. We look forward to answering your questions.

Mission

We believe that every student has a right to full and equal participation in the university community. We identify and collaboratively eliminate institutional barriers to success and cultivate a student-centered co-curricular experience. We intentionally educate our students on self-awareness, well-being, equity, career readiness, interpersonal engagement, and leadership. We seek to understand who our students are and who they want to become. We shape supportive environments for students to grow and belong as they navigate higher education and beyond.

Vision

The Division of Student Affairs will provide a transformative student experience that positively impacts student access, academic success, persistence, and graduation.
