Mission Statement

The Student Life Division aims to recruit, retain and, through service oriented staff and programs, promote adjustment and enhance the total personal-educational experience of a qualified and pluralistic student body.

Reflective of the Lasallian tradition of education of the whole person, Student Life personnel provide programs, advisement and services for the educational, financial, emotional, occupational, athletic, physical, social, cultural and religious needs of the community.

Our mission includes the provision of a caring and safe campus environment and an enriched commuter and residential living and learning experience. Student Life programs reflect the College’s commitment to social justice, moral values and leadership and development opportunities through moderated student clubs and organizations. Direction and assistance is provided through disciplined guidance, and policies and procedure, that engender respect both for individual dignity and the rights of others in promoting student development. The mission also includes a commitment to serve and to help students develop quality, value-based relationships with their peers and families as well as with the entire Manhattan College community.

Purpose

The College offers a comprehensive program of student personnel services designed to develop the students’ potential for self-guidance in their efforts to achieve success in life as desirable members of society.
