The mission of the Office of Student Life and Diversity is to provide "student-centered services, consulting, facilities, learning experiences and programs for students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community," to contribute to an "inclusive, accessible campus community," and to inspire "educational, personal, social and professional achievement." In carrying out this mission, the office works to identify student needs, develops student life programs on the campus, implements a range of diversity initiatives, oversees development of the Campus Center and student residence building projects, and collaborates closely with such units as University College, the Office of Information Management and Institutional Research, and the Office for Professional Development. The office is in the process of creating a strategic plan, including goals, strategies, and objectives, as well as approaches to assessing its accomplishments.
