About Us
We are dedicated to fostering a campus community where students can experience being a Griz to the fullest. By definition, students are at the center of everything we do in Campus Life. We take great pride and care in providing learning opportunities that support each student's intellectual, social, cultural, emotional, and physical development. We do our best to serve the needs of students in all aspects of student life outside the classroom, while at the same time working with Academic Affairs to support student learning.
For more than 25 years, our programs and services have been an integral part of the campus community that continues to encourage, challenge, and prepare students for life. We are primarily responsible for managing the student experience outside the classroom. From housing and health to disability services and on-campus dining, we provide services and facilities that support students, promote learning, and encourage personal growth.
