Office of the VP for Student Life

Welcome, Student Life staff!

Each year, the Student Life Kickoff brings our division together in early fall to celebrate the start of a new academic year. While we may not be able to gather physically for this year’s Kickoff, we’ve done our best to bring the smiles and fanfare to you right here. That’s right, for the first time ever, you can enjoy the Student Life Kickoff from the comfort of your own couch, kitchen table, or gigantic bean bag!

Now, let’s kick things off!

Thank you

Now more than ever, our mission takes on a renewed meaning as we seek to support and uplift our students through these most trying times. As you forge ahead with programs, services, and other work that may seem significantly different now than it did just seven months ago, please show the same kindness and care for yourself and your teams that you do every day for our Huskies. Thank you for all that you do, day in and day out. Go Dawgs!
