The Division of Student Affairs seeks to enhance the Niagara University student experience by supporting the educational, 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, the Student Affairs sector places an emphasis on respect and appreciation for others, promoting the rights and God-given dignity of every person.

Student Affairs believes that learning is a lifelong process. Personnel help students “learn to learn” by promoting co-curricular activities which complement classroom experiences. Staff encourage students to participate in institutional governance, to think critically, to promote academic honesty and personal integrity, and to engage in community service as preparation for good citizenship. This holistic approach helps develop informed, compassionate and capable graduates whose vision and values will enrich their lives and add to the betterment of society.
