WHAT WE DO?

The Division of Student Affairs seeks to enhance the Niagara University student experience by supporting the educational, and Catholic and Vincentian mission of the university through diverse programs and services. Guided by the university’s core values, Student Affairs administrators partner with students, faculty and staff to create a co-curricular and experiential learning environment that inspires a community of service learners. Informed by the university’s mission, Student Affairs places an emphasis on respect and appreciation for others, promoting the rights and God-given dignity of every person. Together, with Academic Affairs and other offices at the university, the Office of Student Affairs works collaboratively with students to develop student programs and services, celebrating student success and building on the university’s rich traditions.

Mission Statement

We enrich students by fostering their growth and development as lifelong learners committed to justice and service. We cultivate a supportive and inclusive environment rooted in compassion, integrity, collaboration, and transparent communication. Through co-curricular engagement and a focus on holistic wellness, we provide resources and experiences that promote the whole person—mind, body, heart, and soul—preparing students for a lifetime of learning, growth, and servant leadership.
