The Division of Student Affairs supports Loggers by providing integrated experiences that promote holistic growth and wellbeing, while preparing undergraduate and graduate students to lead with integrity.
Hello Loggers, and welcome to the Division of Student Affairs.
The seven departments within Student Affairs support the educational mission of the university and encourage the development of students as citizen leaders in a global society. As a team we are committed to supporting students throughout their Logger experience - athletics and recreation, residential living, mental health and medical support, spiritual growth, leadership development, and community building.
We work to support our student community by embedding four strategic themes into everything we do:
- Health, Wellbeing, and Safety: The Division of Student Affairs supports students in realizing their own abilities and resiliency. We emphasize physical and mental health, personal safety, and social well-being, all of which are essential to a student’s ability to learn, grow, and thrive.
- Holistic Development and Learning: The Division of Student Affairs supports holistic development which engages the mind, body, and spirit. We work to support that development through the education of the whole person, utilizing high impact practices and creating a culture of care, belonging, and student success. We encourage students to embark on a journey of deep intellectual, interpersonal, physical, and spiritual exploration of self and others.
- Community Engagement: The Division of Student Affairs defines community engagement as the practice of using one’s values, knowledge, and skills to make meaningful contributions to their communities. We create and support thoughtful, intentional, and impactful opportunities for community engagement that promote student development.
- Culture of Championship Athletics: The Division of Student Affairs supports a winning and successful culture across the division. We work to develop students holistically while fostering a culture of high expectations, preparation, and resilience by prioritizing competitive performance, integrity, leadership, and continuous improvement, and representation of Puget Sound at conference and national levels.
Student Affairs is committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and leadership in service of students—ensuring they are prepared to thrive in a changing world and to lead with purpose. On behalf of everyone in Student Affairs, we look forward to being a part of your Puget Sound journey.
