About Us

The vision of Student Affairs is to create an engaging learning environment where community is strengthened and individuals flourish. Community Values & Connection brings together key offices that reinforce the foundational values and relationships that form a strong campus community. We are deeply committed to our students — to their personal growth and development, to their learning, and to their crafting lives of meaning and distinction.

Community Values & Connection includes Family Engagement, Student Accountability & Restorative Practices, Gender Based Violence Resources & Advocacy Services, and Conflict Resolution & Peer Mediation. These offices work collaboratively to strengthen campus bonds, fostering a safe, accountable, inclusive and supportive environment for all members.
