Mission of the Office of Student Life

As the center of campus community life, the Office of Student Life is an integral part of the educational mission of Fairleigh Dickinson University, Metropolitan Campus.  By offering a variety of programs, services, and facilities that meet the needs of the FDU Community, we create an environment for individuals to interact and learn from one another.  We provide opportunities for student, faculty, and staff involvement in campus life.

The Office of Student Life, a student-centered organization, values participatory decision making, self-directed activity, and the open exchange of ideas.  Through service to the campus community in volunteerism, committees, and student employment opportunities, we foster interactive and developmental experiences in leadership and social responsibility.  Furthermore, we enhance the academic experience through an extensive array of cultural, educational, recreational, social, and leadership programs.  Thus, developing well-rounded and confident citizens of the world.
 

The Office of Student Life honors individuality and values the diversity of the campus.  We provide opportunities to celebrate traditions that will shape our future.  We are committed to fostering a community that cultivates enduring dedication and pride in the University community.  Therefore, making Fairleigh Dickinson University the global institution of choice.
