Each day I find new reasons to admire
the beauty of the campus; the breadth of interests and
energy of the students; the excellence of the faculty;
the competence and dedication of the staff; and the
enthusiasm and involvement of our alumni and community
partners.
I recognize that UCLA is a big place. Students can sometimes
feel lost in the shuffle while trying to figure out
their daily routines, including where to live and which
courses to enroll in. Although our exceptional students
are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves,
they do need support in order to thrive on such a large
campus. Therefore, we in Student Affairs view our role
of “taking care of the students” in the
purest sense—making sure they have the best possible
environment for exploring their intellectual interests
and achieving their full potential.
We want to make sure that all students
feel at home somewhere at UCLA. As such, we aim to deliver
the best possible services and programs that reflect
the diverse needs of many different groupings of students.
We encourage UCLA students to explore and connect with
our wide range of innovative programs and services,
and to take full advantage of these opportunities.
At Student Affairs we are:
| |
- Providing broad
and diverse access to the University, through
outreach and financial aid programs;
|
| |
- Easing the transition from
high school to college through counseling, health
and housing services;
|
| |
- Ensuring that all of our
students have a campus experience that inspires
and challenges them—as well as one which
prepares them for life beyond the University—through
our many other student services and programs,
all accessible through this website; and
|
| |
- Listening to
our students and constantly improving our programs
and services to better serve the campus community.
|
Finally, as our students take their
experience into the world beyond the campus, we urge
them to “give back” by staying connected
to their UCLA family and supporting the programs which
have meant so much to them.
Thank you! |
