The Division of Student Affairs at North Dakota State University embraces the mission of the university by providing services, programs, and resources to students in support of academic, professional and personal growth.

Central to this mission is a philosophical foundation built upon:

• Collaboration and relationships

• Servant and principle-centered leadership

• Responsibility and self-advocacy

• Recognition of an increasingly diverse student population

• Commitment to student engagement and a transformative learning environment

• Preparation for life in a global society
