Our programs and offices play an important role in the recruitment, retention and success of students and employees. This occurs through coordinated efforts within the division, as well as strategic partnerships across campus and with external communities.

Many staff members serve on committees and bring diverse perspectives and ideas. Some provide one-on-one and small group coaching to students that contributes to their academic success. Others provide training, consultative and investigative services to academic and administrative departments on a wide range of issues regarding campus culture.
