At the University of Utah, living on campus is designed to be more than just four walls and a bed. It’s a lifestyle—a one-stop hub for support, connection, and growth. With a recent restructuring of Housing & Residential Education, the newly formed Office of Residence Life is ensuring this vision remains a reality while strengthening Student Affairs’ commitment to student well-being and success.
At the University of Utah, education goes beyond the traditional academic setting. College is also about being exposed to different views—sometimes familiar, sometimes deeper, and more challenging. To fully discover their passions, people, and purposes, students need to learn how to engage with differing viewpoints in ways that build understanding and community. That’s where the Campus Dialogue Program comes in.
Student Affairs’ Pillar Events have been defined as large-scale, thoughtfully curated events designed to serve as cornerstones of the college experience. They aim to cut through the noise of hundreds of campus events and provide students with consistent, high-impact experiences to look forward to each year. This fall, Student Affairs is taking the next step: formally classifying Pillar Events into three categories—social, belonging, and health & wellness.
At Student Affairs, we understand that supporting student well-being is essential for academic success — a priority that continues to guide our work today. To strengthen this commitment, the division has introduced four Health & Wellness Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), a critical step in the Adapting to Student Needs strategic plan.
The Student Health and Wellness team is joining forces with Student Affairs offices across campus to strengthen health and wellbeing by hosting eight awareness campaigns this year—inviting you to get involved and take action!
