Office of the Dean of Students
Welcome
The Office of the Dean of Students provides students, faculty, and staff a range of resources that support student success by promoting the critical importance of civility, self-accountability, responsible decision-making and community building. As part of the university's division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, our team of professionals build opportunities for students to become engaged in life outside the classroom, foster the overall development of students, enhance the learning experience for students, and value social justice and community building through intentionally designed programs and services.
Whatever your need or interest, we offer many ways to assist you and provide opportunities for learning and personal growth. You are encouraged to take full advantage of them.
In the coming weeks, there will be many opportunities to come together as a KU community to talk, listen, comfort without judgment, have difficult conversations, and lift each other up as humans, even when we disagree. Let us move forward with unity and support for each other as we manage potential challenges ahead.
Check out what is planned. For more information, follow KU organization socials, check out Engage, or call the Dean of Students Office at 610-683-1396.
