About the Division of Student Affairs
Welcome from the Vice President of Student Affairs
The Division of Student Affairs is committed to supporting students and their families in their transition to UNC and in their personal and academic success. As educators, we know students thrive when they know they matter and when they are both challenged and supported as they learn and encounter new experiences.
Because we want our students to thrive, we provide resources, tools, and opportunities to create a student experience focused on learning, by:
- Creating a strong sense of belonging and campus connection
- Promoting diverse, equitable and inclusive environments
- Developing career readiness
- Supporting wellness and healthy options
- Getting involved, giving back, and developing leadership talent
