Our Focus

Student Life

Leadership and Service

As Vice Chancellor, I am often asked what exactly the Division of Student Aff airs does for The University

of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. To phrase it simply, I say we are the campus community.

The education of a college student is a combination of an excellent academic program with the application

of learning to everyday life. We work in partnership with the faculty and the academic administration to

provide a holistic educational experience for all students. The development of students of all ages into

educated, engaged, and committed leaders requires all of us; Student Aff airs seeks to provide the optimal

conditions and environments in which learning and growth can take place.

We need your support. Investing in our students is an investment in our collective future. We want to transform

their education into a lifetime of learning.
