Welcome to Student Affairs
Student Affairs strives to engage students in services and programs that make lifelong learning possible. Our efforts are focused on providing a experience in which every student feels supported by the campus environment, connected to the institution, and prepared for the challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to support students as they learn from and navigate life’s opportunities and challenges.
In 2025, the Student Affairs launched 4WARD Focus, a student success framework with four identified priorities to guide divisional efforts that enhance student retention, persistence, and graduation. These priorities include:
- Student Basic Needs Student
- Health and Well-being
- Career-readiness Competency
- Fostering a Vibrant Campus Life
This strategic approach addresses the interconnected elements essential for student success, inspiring students to achieve something greater. From your first year to career and convocation stage to commencement stage, our staff are here to help you every step of the way.
Roll Cougars,
Miriam Roccia
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
