Student Life is primarily committed to addressing students' developmental needs and interests through a variety of coordinated services for the student community.

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.

Services offered by the Student Life Division:

• Residential Program: Student Life's primary responsibility is to provide a safe and comfortable living environment for all residential 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.
• Student Development Center: The SDC's major roles and functions are to implement and coordinate a variety of after-school activities such as study hall services, student work program, recreational activities and Literacy opportunities in our Literacy Center.
• Health Center: providing the best possible medical care for students. Health Center staff strive to do this in a manner which consistently creates a positive, pleasant, and productive health care environment for both students and staff
• Athletics: providing opportunities for students to participate in various sports. We offer football and volleyball in the fall, basketball and wrestling in the winter, softball, baseball and track in the spring from 5th through 12th grade.
• Camp Willard - self supporting educational camping program serving all Deaf and Hard of Hearing students statewide, regardless of educational facility.
