The Student Affairs Division is guided by the following philosophy:
The University of Saint Joseph Student Affairs Staff is committed to developing the potential of women through a variety of co-curricular and extra-curricular experiences. Believing that intellectual growth and educational development are achieved through community involvement, service, leadership and experiential learning, the Student Affairs Staff works to provide these opportunities for women. By challenging and supporting each student, individual growth is facilitated as well as the creation of a cohesive campus community which embraces diversity among its members. Through efforts in the areas of social, cultural, vocational, intellectual, spiritual, physical and emotional wellness, each student is educated as a total person. Individuals are empowered to clarify their values and establish their identity as a responsible adult.
The Office of Student Affairs serves as a resource center for co-curricular matters. The following departments are coordinated through this area by the Vice President of Student Affairs/ Dean of Students:
- Athletics
- Campus Ministry
- Career Development
- Community Outreach and Partnerships
- Counseling and Wellness Center
