To help students navigate the wide variety of campus events, Student Affairs has identified a collection of Pillar Events—thoughtfully curated events designed to serve as cornerstones of the college experience. This year, Student Affairs is also introducing U-Traditions, a new event category that recognizes many of the University's most recognizable student traditions.
Student Affairs recognizes that students' schedules don't always fit within a traditional workday. To better meet students' needs, many departments offer extended hours, evening availability, and virtual services throughout the fall semester.
Faculty play a vital role in the student experience. Beyond teaching and mentoring, they are often the first to recognize when a student needs support, whether that means finding a sense of belonging, navigating a personal challenge, or simply knowing where to turn for help. To help faculty connect students with the right resources, Student Affairs has developed a new faculty guide that highlights the programs, services, and opportunities available across the division.
The Center for Student Access and Resources (CSAR) is now the Student Affairs Scholarship Support Hub, a new name that reflects the office's expanding role in helping students navigate Student Affairs scholarship opportunities and supporting departments that administer donor-funded scholarships.
As students return to campus this August, one of the university's largest student engagement experiences will once again bring thousands of students together to build connections, explore opportunities for involvement, and discover Fraternity & Sorority Life (FSL).
