About Us
The Division of Student Affairs at Southern Methodist
University is charged with providing guidance, support services, and a
variety of programs and activities intended to complement the academic
pursuits of students and to promote their development. Throughout the
Division of Student Affairs, a student will encounter caring professionals
who are not only trained and skilled in their own specialties, but are
professional educators dedicated to assisting students in developing to
their full potential.
The focus of Student Affairs is meant to be one of education and guidance, not merely problem solving. The role of this staff is, as is that of the faculty, to assist the student in reaching true maturity and to prepare the student to take a useful place in society.
In addition to providing services and opportunities to our students, we are also here as a resource for faculty. A Faculty Guide to Student Affairs has been developed and is available online as a PDF document. Faculty may request a free hard copy of this booklet at any time by calling the Residence Life & Student Housing Office at 214-768-2407.
To stay current with trends in the higher education field, many staff members in the Division of Student Affairs maintain institutional memberships and are very active with their respective various national and regional professional organizations. Click here to view a list of the association memberships currently held by staff in the division.
The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs at SMU is located in Room 203 of the Perkins Administration Building, which is pictured above.
