Bowling Green State University Division of Student Affairs Mission Statement

The Division of Student Affairs complements Bowling Green State University's mission to be the premier learning community in Ohio and one of the best in the Nation. This is accomplished by the following practices:

  • We enhance student learning and achievement through innovative programs, services, and facilities that meet students' developmental, social, physical and psychological health, and academic needs and interests.
  • We challenge and engage students by creating a supportive, learning-centered environment that encourages intellectual exchange, cultural literacy, self-assurance, respect for others, and the responsible exercise of individual expression.
  • We strive, in partnership with Academic Affairs, to help students integrate learning experiences and develop competence in critical thinking, written and oral communication, interpersonal relations, and leadership. Achievement of these learning outcomes prepares our students for life-long personal and professional growth.
  • Our aim is to prepare Bowling Green State University graduates for leadership in their communities, and meaningful involvement in an increasingly diverse, technologically sophisticated, and complex global society.
