Student Affairs is committed to ensuring that every Roadrunner has the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. In addition to the enrollment and financial resources students need on their academic journey, we also support student organizations, leadership opportunities, innovative career readiness programming and industry connections, recreation and club sports, and health and wellness offerings to fit all interests.

As a community of students and staff, we rely on the three pillars of Student Affairs – career success, equity and inclusion, and student engagement – to guide our work, as we strive to create diverse programming that elevates student voices and affirms students’ identities and experiences. We give our all every day to ensure your time as a Roadrunner is memorable, purposeful and impactful.
