About Student Affairs Advisory Group

Established in fall 2024, the Student Affairs Advisory Group was created to help guide the division’s reestablishment and offer input on future reorganizations. Composed of faculty, staff, and student partners, the group brings diverse perspectives on both the student experience and the broader campus environment. Meeting regularly, it continues to explore strategies for fostering a cohesive, effective, and student-centered campus experience.
