About
Mission
The mission of the Department of Student Life & Engagement (SLE) is to enhance the academic programs of study by providing opportunities for students, faculty and staff to interact in a variety of experiences and environments. SLE strives to promote student growth and development through involvement in diverse co-curricular cultural, social, and educational activities as well as governance programs.
Students involved in Student Life & Engagement programs will find themselves thriving in an environment which emphasizes these qualities:
- Encouragement and aid in the development of social, cultural, intellectual, recreational and governance programs which increase active participation in campus life and greater St. Petersburg community.
- Confidence to explore self-directed activities that provide opportunities for self-realization and growth in individual and group settings.
- Exposure to diverse cultures, ideas, values, beliefs, perspectives, and campus community initiatives.
- Knowledge and assistance regarding institutional policies and procedures as well as campus resources and how these are related to students’ lives and activities.
- Aid in the development of institutional spirit and pride through creative interaction among students, staff, faculty and members of the local community; and
- Developmental opportunities to practice leadership, decision-making, and transferable skills applicable beyond the classroom and college setting.
