The Student Engagement and Services team is integral to the School's educational mission of human development. To assist students in their personal growth and in achieving their educational objectives, we collaborate with faculty, administrators, and students to provide programs, services, and opportunities that are responsive to the dynamic nature of the educational process; enrich the educational experience for the School’s diverse undergraduate and graduate student population; and embody the School's support for all phases of a student’s development and the diversity of student needs. If you would like to meet with a member of our team, you can reach out to us directly or visit us during our virtual walk-in hours; no appointments are necessary.
