The Office of Student Services

Our Mission

Our mission in Student Services is to advocate for and guide the holistic development of all students through the intentional creation of an inclusive and collaborative community that fosters a sense of belonging. We do this by creating and providing student-centered programs and services; supporting our students’ academic and personal growth; promoting their mental health and physical wellbeing; and encouraging their development into inspired leaders and empowered legal professionals.

For additional help with graduation requirements, schedule planning, or law school strategizing, make a 1-on-1 appointment with an academic advisor in Student Services.
