What is Student Affairs? What is a Student Affairs Professional?
Student Affairs are those services, programs, and offices that exist on campus to support the academic, developmental, and experiential success of students. They include services like housing & residence life, health services, financial aid, emotional & career counseling, and student activities, among others.
A Student Affairs Professional is someone who works (and sometimes lives) within the campus community to improve the quality of campus life for students, to develop programs to enhance student learning, and to support and advocate for student needs.
