Student Life has an important role within the mission of Student Affairs. We are committed to facilitate involvement, support personal development and enhance academic success. All of the programs and services within the Student Life unit focus on some aspect of these goals. Beyond their individual contribution, these programs and services have an important collaborative contribution to students satisfaction with college life.
Organized within six individual offices, Student Life encompasses many programs. Engagement with the University is facilitated through programs such as SOAR (Summer Orientation Advisement and Registration) and the peer-based First Year Student Center. Focused programming for special populations promotes inclusion and comfort for all students. A comprehensive recreation and intramural program and general entertainment and social programming offer fun and relaxation for all. Support for the more than 120 recognized student organizations provides opportunities for involvement and leadership addressing the diverse interests of the student body. Academic enhancement is promoted through services like course-specific tutoring and the classroom-based Supplemental Instruction program. Expanding beyond currently enrolled students, academic enhancement is provided to college-bound local high school students. Professional readiness is supported by individual career counseling, group programs and opportunities for exposure to employers and employment opportunities.
Student Life is dedicated to providing both the encouragement and opportunity for students to make the most of their college years. The wide range of programs, and opportunities for student initiated program development, guarantees that regardless of interest, background, values or priorities, students will find YSU to be their chance for personal development, involvement and success.
