Mission Statement

The mission of Student Affairs is to promote student learning.

Student Affairs supports the mission of Bridgewater State University by promoting student learning in the following ways:

• Create and maintain educational and physical environments that intentionally support student learning;
• Establish opportunities for meaningful experiences that help students assess their development, try new roles, and integrate classroom learning to encourage the development of life skills necessary to achieve personal and professional goals;
• Build supportive communities where all members are treated with respect, where diversity is embraced and celebrated, and where the contributions of all community members are valued;
• Enhance the critical thinking that allows students to make independent decisions and advocate for themselves;
• Help students solve problems and overcome obstacles that would otherwise interfere with their learning;
• Promote student belonging and loyalty to the University, in order to support persistence to graduation and positive, long-term involvement in the University.
