Our mission

Student Affairs serves to center the student’s experience and to advance student success through inclusive programs, resource delivery, community engagement, specialized services, and faculty support of the student. 

All students, faculty, and staff at OHSU have a “place to go when they do not know where to go” that will provide centralized student-centered support for student and faculty/staff needs. 

The Office of Student Affairs and staff serve two purposes: 

1. We will lead the way for student support where all students will easily find student- centered resources, referrals, engagement and leadership opportunities, and one -on -one advising to support the student’s mission to obtain a degree and make a difference in the world.  

2. We will serve as a resource for consultation, training, and support for faculty and staff who need assistance supporting student success and solving vexing problems related to students and their situations.
