Student Life
The Student Life Division was established in 1986 to function
as a supportive body to the residential program. Student Life,
one of the four major programming divisions of the Administrative
Team, is primarily committed to addressing students' developmental
needs and interests through a variety of coordinated services for
the student community. Student Life's primary responsibility is to
provide a safe and comfortable living environment for all
residential students. Today, the Student Life Division has expanded its
programs and services to provide better services for all students
including day students. Our programs are specifically designed
to provide the best possible environment that is free of language barriers,  along with opportunities for student growth, development, and achievement. The residential
hall programs emphasize integration, collaboration, and equality in
fostering opportunities and experiences in self-education and
self-improvement. In August 1995, Student Life established the
student development philosophy and incorporated this philosophy
into the residential programs.
Student Life Mission Statement
We are committed to providing high-quality, student-centered programs that support
the student as a whole.
Student Life Philosophy Students develop best in a challenging and supportive
environment where academic and personal development are integral. The
Student Life's programs are services based on nine dimensions of this
philosophy: cultural, emotional, intellectual, life planning, physical,
political, sexual, social, and spiritual.
A Closer Look at the Student Life Philosophy
Student Life Goals:
- Encourage the development of our students' daily living skills through
learning to care for themselves (personal hygiene), care for the environment
they live in, and share the environment with other students (community building).
- Encourage our students to be involved in their own governance by helping one
another to become responsible and self-directed.
- Enhance the growth of our students by establishing a connection between the
learning that exists in the classroom and after-school activities.
