Division of Student Affairs |
Where Life and Learning Intersect |
Vision The Division of Student Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin
seeks to become the premier organization of its kind. We envision a network
of programs and services that excels in meeting students’ out-of-classroom
needs, complementing their academic experiences, and building community
on a diverse campus. In doing so, we will contribute to developing citizens
and leaders who will thrive in and enrich an increasingly complex world.
Mission
The Division of Student Affairs facilitates students’ discovery
of self and the world in which they live. We enhance students’ educational
experiences through programs and services that support academic success.
We provide for fundamental needs,
including shelter, nourishment, and a sense of security. We create environments
that foster physical, emotional, and psychological wellness, and advance
healthy lifestyles. Student Affairs builds communities, both real and
virtual, which encourage inclusiveness, invite communication, and add
to the cultural richness of the institution. We focus on personal development
including career decision-making, problem solving and group dynamics,
challenging students to work both independently and as part of a team.
Our passion is complete learning.
Core Values
Sharing a fundamental belief in the value of student affairs and its
ability to transform lives, we will pursue this vision by:
-
Focusing on the lifelong learning and personal growth of
all members of the University community;
-
Engendering a community that
is inclusive, accessible, and secure;
-
Conducting ourselves and our programs with the highest integrity;
-
Enhancing
our services by creating opportunities to collaborate and nurture
partnerships;

Challenging ourselves to move beyond the status quo and

Strengthening
a tradition of quality, compassion, and an unwavering belief in students
and ourselves;

Demonstrating the innovation and courage to adapt to
changing conditions; and

Realizing that both action and vision are
necessary for a better future.
