The Dean of Students Office serves as a central point of inquiry for students with concerns not addressed in other areas of the University. Possessing an effective understanding of University policies, procedures, and community life, staff work with individual students, student groups, staff, and faculty to resolve conflicts and eliminate barriers, which impede the realization of educational and personal goals. Furthermore, they identify systemic problems in the institutional system and work to effect change. In these ways, the office offers students a centralized location for problem resolution and is a place where students can work with staff that possess the knowledge and influence to effect problem resolution.
