The Division of Student Life

Mission 

Student life engages the whole student in a process of growth and self-discovery within an intentional, residential learning environment. Student life educators apply nationally recognized best practices to develop a culture of care and wellness, and foster belonging and inclusion to cultivate and empower responsible and engaged global citizens who are equipped to thrive in a diverse world.

Vision

Student life actively engages in the holistic development of Lafayette College students by building relationships that cultivate an environment of mutual respect, inclusion, and wellbeing. We do this by creating opportunities for leadership, learning, and dialogue, and by showing up for students in their struggles, successes, and joy. We aim to graduate alumni of strong moral and ethical character, better equipped to lead lives of meaning and purpose.
