The Occidental student fully engaged.

Mission

Student Affairs challenges students to engage in all aspects of learning and supports their development as socially responsible members of their communities.

Values

• Responsibility: To be accountable to another for our actions and beliefs.  This means that we can also be held accountable for what we say and do.
• Congruence: To display consistency in our thoughts, feelings, and actions.  To act with authenticity toward others.
• Respect: To hold positive regard for others’ traditions, beliefs, and goals, even if we personally disagree with them.
• Global Citizenship: To act out of an awareness of the world as a global community, recognizing the rights and responsibilities within it.

Goals

• To provide students with paths to enhance leadership skills that develop self-efficacy and collaboration.
• To facilitate mastery in life skills as students prepare for the transition through and beyond Occidental College.
• To connect students to communities on- and off-campus by providing opportunities for reciprocal learning.
• To impact student intellectual, social, and personal development through staying abreast of new research and best practices that inform our work.
