Mission Statement


The Division of Student Affairs at the College of Charleston is dedicated to the facilitation of the cultural, social, emotional, physical, ethical and intellectual development of all students so that they may become responsible and effective individuals.

As educators, the Student Affairs staff works to design active learning environments, offer quality services, provide diverse experiences, and teach skills which enable students to develop personal value systems, explore, build and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships, discover the responsibilities of community memberships, promote their emotional and physical well-being and accept responsibility for their own development.

These goals are the basis for a Student Affairs curriculum, which parallels and reinforces the academic curriculum. The Division recognizes that the purpose of a liberal arts and sciences education is best met when both the Student Affairs curriculum and academic curriculum are strong.

Student Affairs Value Statement
The Division of Student Affairs values the holistic development of our students and their growth as globally-minded individuals through experiential learning, as well as the modeling of ethical behavior and accountability.
