Student and Campus Life
Robert Naples
Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students
In the Division of Student Campus Life, our primary aim is to maximize the quality of the experiences our students encounter outside the classroom. We hold a student-centered philosophy that sets effective, productive student contact as the top priority and emphasizes teamwork and seamless integration among our departments, as well as with other areas of the campus.
We envision the activities in which students become involved outside the hours of class and study as a "living laboratory." This is the portion of the educational experience in which concepts and values are shaped and lecture hall theory is transformed into working reality. To facilitate this process, we work to develop a wide range of co-curricular activities and opportunities; take a lead in fostering a campus environment that is welcoming to all students and respectful of individual differences; work with the campus community in the maintenance of a climate of intellectual expression and exchange that is vigorous and open, yet recognizes the University's need for orderly operation; and offer leadership training, community service opportunities, advising in event planning, and guidance in campus governance. We also offer an unmatched range of activities that are simply a lot of fun.
Through our departments' websites, which you can visit by links from this page, students, prospective students, and parents can learn about the myriad of programs and services that support academic success. You can find background or contact information for over 800 student clubs and organizations; take a tour of our on-campus residential services; explore an extraordinary array of recreation activities; and much, much more.
